Normandy, the Finale

21 April, Saturday

Today was packing day with plans for an early departure on Sunday. I hit the big grocery store for last minute purchases, mailed some cards, and got some Euros for use on the return trip. Then we had “refrigerator clean out” for supper.

22 April Sunday

Up in the dark for a 13-hour drive home. But what memories! Home still looked good.

A few days later, I learned that we were only a few miles away from where my seventh great grandmother had lived before she emigrated to Quebec almost two hundred years ago. Maybe this will be an excuse for another journey. We did not visit Cherbourg or Caen, so that could be another trip.
