Jim and Wayne's Fabulous Adventures

So, we're off on another adventure! And, like all our adventures in the past, there's been a lot of thought into where we're going, what we're seeing and doing, and how it's all going to happen. Maybe too much thought. But, then again, this time we've managed to keep a few days here and there without any real solid plans - no hotel reservations, just broad ideas about where we might go, and what me might do between point "a" and point "b"... I'm setting this thing up in advance so I can (if all goes well) simply open up the blog, add photos and a few thoughts, and not spend every evening of our holiday doing this instead of being there! Wherever "there" is!

Cheers!

Normandy

Land of Wayne's Ancestors
Nicolas Quentin emigrated from Gonneville-sur-Honfleur in 1652 and was one of the first colonists (premier colons) of L'Ange-Gardien in Quebec, Canada.  He's famous!  His name is on a monument in L'Ange-Gardien. Never been there, but we're heading to Normandy to see the town he came from.

We've been without internet on my computer for several days now, so I've got a bit of catching up to do.  We went to Honfleur, Gonneville-sur-Honfleur, and have arrived in Bayeux - all in Normandy.  We've seen a lot in a few days and have taken several hundred photos.  I'm only going to post a few, but I hope this gives you a taste of what we've seen and done.
