Thursday and Friday, from St Malo to Honfleur

  

The bus brought us to the Peace Memorial Museum in Caen. The museum covers the events of WWII including D-Day.

This is one of three entrances to a restored bunker which was the headquarters of General Richter who was in charge of the German defenses. It was opened this year for the 70th anniversary of D-Day.

We boarded our boat in Honfleur for our river cruise. We spent the day in the town. This building contains part of the last standing entrance of what used to be the walled city.
 

This is the old port which was used for delivering and loading goods. It is now used by the locals for their pleasure boats.

This is the Church of St. Catherine. It was built entirely of wood in the 15th century and is the largest surviving wooden church in France built in that century. The bell tower is in a separate building in the left side of the picture. 

This is the inside of St Catherine. I think our guide told us that the flags were hung in honor of the holiday and will be removed.

We would probably call this a shotgun house. They are using every space in the small yard for a garden.

This is one of two remaining 'laundromats'. The women would bring their dirty laundry here to wash in the real olden days. Wayne wanted to get me a washboard to wash our clothes here!

Meat at a market sitting in the sun. This is how the shops in Germany displayed their meat 30 years ago when I lived there!

I added this picture to show you the various types of building materials on the exterior of these houses. Brick, slate, wood and some type of stucco-like material.

This is our tour guide, Christoff, pointing out an old jail.
