Our plane -- first time we've flown in a 747.

Airline Food - not your typical fare -- in fact it was quite good -- Mes compliments, Air France!

La Maraîcherie, our Chambres-d'Hôtes - Golden Chain Tree - I had a hard time trying to convey photographically the radiant gold of this tree. This picture only hints at it.

Avranches - Rue Saint Nicholas - in places, barely 4 feet wide, with stairs

Avranches - Le Jardin-des-Plantes - Judy by the arch. The Jardin received a major overhaul in 2007. I don't find it quite as charming as I did, but this spot is still beautiful.

Avranches - Panorama from Le-Jardin-des-Plantes

Saint-Benoit - little town near Saint-James. We went to Saint-James to remember my father and mother at the place where they met when my father was serving as Honor Guard at Brittany American Cemetery nearby. This year, the cemetery was undergoing repairs and maintenance, so there were not too many photo-ops.

Avranches - Tomates au Marché - Judy ponders some mighty luscious looking tomatoes (Yes, they did smell and taste as good as they looked!)

Our friend, Gilles Normand, walking toward us on Les Mares, as we were re-exploring this place of my birth.

Panorama - Route des Falaises near Saint-Jean-le-Thomas. You can see Tomblaine and the Mont-Saint-Michel on the horizon.
