Going to Normandy,France(early june); staying in the country side in an old farm house,fixed up inside as a house (so beautiful,and romantic). Having nightly fires, the windows open,the sheer white curtains flowing with the wind,candles,home cooked meals provided by "us," going down to the local market that provides fresh produce. There was a garden out back filled with herbs we used to cook with our meals.Taking long walks on the old rock dirt roads,petting the horses along the way and picking flowers as well

. Seeing the Omaha,and Utah beaches,(I brought sand back,as it touched my heart to be there where so many risked their lives for our country).Just being around a different culture was amazing. Everything was such a rich green,and the air was refreshing.
