Caen, Normandy, France
Off by train for a day trip to Bayeux,
a smaller town, closer to the sea.
Twenty minutes and here we are.

A residential neighborhood lies between the station and the town center.
Does anybody know the story on these
deep purple leaves. It is not rare to see a tree that looks normal,
except that it's leaves are this color. I've seen it on different
species of tree. How dey do dat?

That is a foot bridge across a drainage channel. Remarkable, non?
Noble
Guesthouse, eh?
If they say so.

It occurs to me that Frome
(pronounced Froom), my soon-to-be destination in England, rhymes with dome, as in Domesday Book.

Bayeux has a noteworthy cathedral , and a famous thousand year
old "tapestry" (actually a huge embroidery), which I hope to see in
a few days.
Here is a bit of the cathedral, named -
surprise - Notre Dame. Aren't
they all in France?
