Our trip to Normandy and our trip to France ended at
Gold, a British beach, near
Arromanches. This is one of the only beaches where the portable harbors (
Mulberries) are still visible. We hand lunch on the beach and then grabbed crepes flavored with
Calvados, an apple brandy they make here. I made the mistake of using
Conor as a table while I fiddled with my camera. He managed to get the crepe and the paper towel holding it into his mouth. I think this makes his first solid food either crepe or paper towel.
It's amazing to realize that less than eleven months after the landings here, CAN/US/UK forces will meet Russian forces in Berlin.
