Conflans France, work

Small geological ground marker labeled Vincent
The French, as per our tour guide, don’t call him Van Gogh.
Tractor tire tracks in dirt
Tractor tire tracks 400 meters from Van Gogh’s church.
Senior couple in field
400 meters from Vincent’s cemetary.
Wooden door and stone wall
The door number (5) immediately directed me to five, daily blogs.

Hard to believe this is Paris to Normandy boat cruise Day-6. We dock in Paris (our return) around 6:30pm (3-hrs from now). Dinner will be aboard our boat, not far from the Eiffel Tower.

Rouen France, work

France city street
Random street in Rouen.
French gargoyles
An ordinary Saturday morning.
French street from ground level
Piece of slate fell from somewhere. It’s now in my daypack.
Brooklyn, New York poster French bathroom
Brooklyn, New York poster in a French Cafe bathroom.

Challenging to describe what the surroundings are like sitting on the ground in ‘center city’ Rouen.

Perfect weather, 71 degrees, mostly sunny.

Cheryl, Debbie and Kathleen are shopping nearby. i’m just chilling on the ground at a busy Saturday afternoon corner. Getting the feeling people think i’m a street corner beggar. For real.

Caudebec France-day 2, work

Quite about Omaha beach on D-Day
The bloodiest most brutal phase was the first wave of American soldiers.
Normandy invasion stats
The day (D-Day) went militarily better than expected, apparently according to subject matter experts.

Knew next to nothing about D-Day’s incredible strategy and worldwide collaboration, and operational secrecy.

God bless peaceful intentions and peaceful leaders.
