Springtime In Paris

So here are the few pictures I do have from our last few days. I just happened to take a small extra camera, so I did get a few shots. Several of the others that were with us are going to share their shots with me, so hopefully I'll have more to upload soon :)

Arc de Triomphe

Notre Dame Cathedral

The rest of these photos are from our day trip over to Normandy. We visited the US Memorial to those killed in the Battle of Normandy and also visited the beaches and cliffs where the attack took place. This was an amazing site!! To think that all those thousands of men gave their lives on that spot against an enemy that seemed insurmountable! This was a turning point in World War II. Without these brave souls, we may very well not have the freedoms we enjoy today!

We too often live our privileged lives without even thinking about the price that has been paid for our freedom. . .in so many ways. . .changes your perspective when you realize where we might have been without the battles fought and won both on land and in the spiritual realm for all of us that travel the road behind the unsung heroes. . .
