Ceilings in the hall way

This is a hall way in the Louvre. The architecture alone was enough to take your breath away.

Arc De Triumph




Notre Dame De Paris




Looking out from the museum entrance onto the ocean.

Behind us are remains of the bridges that went out to the boats during the war. They have been left in the ocean since the attack.

Normandy Museum

These are helments that were in the ocean until about 2001 when they recovered them.
Outfits they used to wear back then.


Normandy

These are photos of the portion of Normandy that was left untouched after the war. The craters are from bombs that we fired on the Germans who were occupying this area during the war.
