Mojo Travels

  Hey Fabulous Followers!  Once again, I am going out of order, but this is my blog, right?  Today, we were in Giverny and visited Monet's pink and green home, toured the inside of his home and gardens.  Homework assignment - look up his home on the inside and outside. This blog is only pictures I took from the gardens. Blessings!                      

  Bon Jour Fabulous Followers!  Let's catch up.  Over a year and a half ago, Joe and I made a decision to travel to France.  Pam, remember her, our travel agent friend?  We were in Iceland and Greenland last month with her.  Pam put together a group to travel by AmaWaterways river cruise from north to south France.

Now, I usually start a blog with the beginning of our journey (and I will catch you up), but I have been led in a different direction after today's experience. Today, we traveled to the beaches of Normandy and the American cemetery at Normandy.  We sang the National Anthem, had a flower bearing ceremony, listened to Taps and had a moment of silence. The veteran gentleman who presented the flowers is a member of our group.  What a touching moment! There are 5 Normandy beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.  The Omaha beach stormed by the Americans was by far the most treacherous to navigate.  These soldiers had to escape the boats or die, and what w...
