| Honfleur is a beautiful fishing port town. |
 |
| It was not damaged during WW2. What a beautiful place. |
 |
| The old cobblestone streets made walking a little more difficult. |
 |
| the churches were amazing. |
 |
| original gate to the city. Notice turrets on the corners to shoot arrows out. |
 |
| Accordion player. Nice touch. Beautiful atmosphere. |
 |
| Carousel in the city center |
 |
| It was market day. This woman was making and selling bears. |
 |
| all kinds of flowers, vegetables, and such were for sale in the market. |
 |
| back to the town of Le Harve for a bicycle tour. |
 |
| Le Harve is a famous port town. With so many containers around from the shipping, someone has turned some of them into apartments. |
 |
| Looking up into the steeple of St Joseph's church. |
 |
| Le Harve was totally destroyed during WW2. It was used by the Nazis as a submarine base. It was bombed into almost complete rubble. One building that survived was the church. Note these five steps up to street level. When the war was over, they simply bulldozed the city. The new construction is higher than the original city level. The historic church is at the pre war level. |
Tomorrow we visit the Normandy Beaches and Cemetery. Sure to be an emotional day.
It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
