Here we are in the delightful village of Bayeux. We are here for two nights at the Churchill Hotel (Rick Steves find) enjoying the Normandy countryside, famous for cows, camenbert , calvdos, and cream. Very quaint and dedicated to the memory of D Day, when so many Americans, among others, died on the beaches of Normandy during World War ll.
Yesterday we saw the Bayeux Tapestry, a record of events of 1066 when William the Bastard became William the Conqorer and Harold became, well, dead. (It always helps to be the winner)

i saw this when you first posted it, but didn't get a chance to comment.
these pictures are absolutely beautiful and i regret not making it to that part of france - just means i'll have to go back another time. good choice in picking bayeux though. rick really talked that one up in his book and i wanted to stay there!
