Welcome to my travel blog. I document my adventures in travel, experiences, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in History
Today is the 75th anniversary of the withdrawal of the German forces from the city. As a history buff and WWII addict I’ve often wished to visit the fields and buildings were so many were tragically slain. Re-burial ceremonies occur often for bodies pulled from the battlefield. Such was the sheer number of deaths on the battlefield that they are still pulling bodies out 75 years after it ended.
The bus becomes lost - rescued by a swimming pool car park - long search for a memorial - saved by the locals - a long march to 1488 - speeches - the gendarmes arrive - singing the Breton anthem - more speeches - Clarisse sings beautifully - Loic plays water polo.
Luxury yachts - an old washing machine - the Romans solve the rotting fish problem - strawberries to line up for - lots of boats
My visit to the Germanisches National Museum: a meeting with Charlemagne, Judith appears holding the head of Holofernes, a Rembrandt self-portrait discovered only 19 years ago and lots more. Some pretty cool dolls houses too.
