Thank you for supporting the Veteran’s Honor Flight Program! It means SO much to those who have served our country.

Visited Locronan Saturday, October 3rd. Many of the houses and the church were built in the 1600’s and 1700’s.

When the town was restored after WWII, they put in underground utilities so it makes the town look more like it did when it was first built.

Went to St Malo on Friday where we visited Mont St Michel. It was 953 steps to the top. Glad we have been using the stairs on the ship or it would have even been harder. My knees did rebel a bit on the way down. Good weather continues to follow us which sure makes sightseeing more pleasant.
