I have been in and out of France now but not yet Paris (except for a dirty train station and the rather nice air port).
We went to the beaches where the D-Day landings occurred in 1944. A lot of people died there from England, Canada, America and of course France and Germany.
We went back to England after Normandy - it is fun being able to just change direction and go to a different country when you want to. It is like heading to Canberra and then deciding to go to Goulburn instead. Well, kind of like that.
Hope everyone is enjoying winter. We are hoping to have a white Christmas in North America so I will be looking forward to Summer as well when I get home.

A German machine-gun post on the beach known as Juno - where the Canadians landed.
An observation post on the headland at Arromanches - no troops landed here because they wanted to keep the beach clear to construct a huge floating, artifical harbour
