ALLS WELL IN AMSTERDAM STOP PARIS NINE TWENTY FIVE STOP

At 3 Euros per 15 minutes of WIFI, I figured I better resort to telegraph technology to update the blog.

For 35 years I’ve stood in North America looking east towards the Netherlands (the land of my ancestors) and I have to admit, it was pretty amazing to descend through the clouds and see canals, fields, and a McDonalds and realize that I am now in Europe looking west towards home. They tell me it’s the same sun here as I see at home. Can you believe it? (I’m sort of kidding about that, but it’s still amazing to me!)

After our flight to Paris, we’ll be visiting the Pegasus Bridge over the Caen Canal. From there we will visit the Caen Memorial and find our hotels for the next three nights in Saint Lo, France.

Hopefully I’ll have a more stable internet connection at the hotel.
