p51 posted:Not much for me. I just got back to the good ol' US of A from Europe, yesterday. This is why none of you have seen much from me for the last three weeks.
We flew to London, then went to Paris, Normandy, then Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Yes, I rode trains, there, too, including the Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel and passenger trains through Normandy.
These are photos at two of my favorite places, as I was walking up Omaha Beach, and later in front of the church at Sainte-Mère-Église, Normandy, France (thanks to the photo skills of my ever-patient wife). I've been wanting to get there for most of my life. Anyone who has followed my posts or articles in the hobby press over the last year can imagine how special these places are to me.
Fantastic memories! One of those rare times that you want memories to go on forever.
I hitch-hiked the Normandy area in 1966 ... just 22 years after the landings. Slept on Omaha in a bag. Walked extensively through St. Lo and Ste. Mere Eglise as did you. There were many still alive then who lived through WWII and the June-August, 1945, period.
Things I wouldn't change for anything. Not even free O Gauge trains. LOL!
