After a delicious French continental breakfast we proceeded to Ste Mere Eglise. I know every one remembers it from "The Longest day". Red Buttons (as paratrooper John Steele) landed on the church and his harness snagged on the steeple. He hung there for 2 days, playing dead, until the Germans cut him down and took him prisoner. He later escaped and rejoined his unit. While there, we had a delightful lunch at the "Auberge-lejohnsteele" I was a 5 course French meal. It started off with a sardine mousse, topped with caviar. Then I had lamb salad and Linda had fish soup. We both had a steak with escalloped potatoes and steamed vegetables. Then to cleanse the pallet before dessert, we had assorted cheeses. Afterwards, we both had "creme broulee". I feel the need to learn more of the French language before I return, so as to know what I am ordering to eat. We went over to Utah Beach and then returned to our B&B in Creance. Tomorrow is Omaha Beach and the American Cemetery.
