They took vehicles with them, the airborne did. Sometimes they even went down -in- the vehicles.

New Building
There is a new, large, hangar shaped building at the Airborne museum. It's got a lot of exhibits presented well. Here are some.

Bits of Bayeux
Saw the tapestry again in October on a wet and chilly day. We visited the cathedral and walked a little bit downtown.

French Snacks
Nothing really spectacular in here. Will be going to France in October, though, so I will try real snacks.

Gifts from France
One of Andreas' employess is actually from France, even with his Polish last name. He brought back these bottles for us. Black currant wine and rum. Yay! Thank you John, it's great.

The Silk Mill Saga
I was given a gift certificate to The Silk Mill, a wonderful French/English thread company based in southern France. When I went to spend some of it, the website had major troubles with the redemption. I emailed back and forth and, while they were unable to fix it at the time, they managed to get everything to go through by hand and sent me a package in December, with a couple of things extra in it for my patience. The package got lost. Instead of being directed through US DPO mail, the DPO saw the word "Kosovo" on the bottom and resent it to Kosovo mail. It sat in Ferizaj, the city with the NATO base in it, for a couple of months. DPO has a history of misshipping things. I have had some items sit on aircraft carriers for months. Silk Mill was going to send me a replacement package, but I kept saying to wait. Lucky I did. In mid-March it was returned to them, completely intact.
I gave Silk Mill my alternate address, the pouch one, and they repackaged and readdressed everything and sent it there. Three weeks later, this is what I received. They had put in even more things in it. Wow! I love their silk. It's vibrant and beautiful to work with. There are also over 700 colors. Yay, and thank you! It all arrived safe and sound finally.
