LaFayette, We Are Here 01-21-2012

We stayed last night in a medieval village of Laon.  Our hotel was was old, everything was old.  We left the next morning around 0900 for Normandy.  We had reservations at another old place in the village of Creance.  It was built around the 11th century.  Our landlord was a Brit named Dave Tarbuck.  Retired from Scotland Yard.  It was a cold, windy, drizzly, blustery day.  The temps were 40 to 50.  We stopped at a rest area and bought salads, drinks and crackers and ate on the way.  It was Sunday evening when we got there.  The restaurants were closed.  We went to a local grocery store and bought bread, cheese, wine and meats and returned to our B&B for dinner.  Our travels took us right through some areas of the worst fighting in WWI.  The Somme and the Argonne Forest.  It has been a long day.  Tomorrow is one of exploration.  Until then.... By the way my computer had not been working..I suspect it was an "operator virus".
