Normandie Part I - The Places

Hello all! We just arrived back from France at 6am this morning after a great trip. After eight days and seven nights in Calvados country we are a bit pooped but have nevertheless begun the always important 'trip documentation'. This is no small task as we shot over 500 photos during the week prior to any editing or deleting. We will try to post several series of photos here based on different themes.

Our first series will be 'places' - some photos of the spots visited, especially when we actually have someone in the picture. We were all over the Normandie region over the week from Dieppe in the east, where our ferry deposited us last week, to St. Malo and its great walls to the west. We traveled as far north as Cherbourg at the end of the Contentin peninsula to Vire and Argentan on Normandie's southern border.
