Here a picture of Hadred Brown in .... well guess for yourself, but have a close look what's behind the tower.

Speaking of "Then & Now", from Sainte-Mere L'église, I took some pictures that I stuck beside pictures to the time, visible in the streets of the village.

I have been in Ste Mere Eglise a couple of times and it is very funny to see the now pictures and knowing where it is exactly.
Will be back there next year for the commemorations.

Dear Vee:
I especially like the fact you did the "NOWS" in black and white! 
Okay, how CRAZY did you make your husband on this tour?

Hey Vee.
You went by boat to see them from a short distance? Never done that by myself. Very interesting. Was it your own boat or did you hire one in Arromanches?
Regards,
Frank
