Église Saint-Étienne-le-Vieux

You have probably already gone outside for sports and thought about how to dress appropriately. With continuous weather and exertion, it's easy to gauge.
The thing that drains me on the ride to Caen is the constantly changing conditions:
The area is hilly so I ride sometimes uphill, sometimes downhill.
I have a crosswind at times. It is partly cloudy.
Due to the frequent change of all these factors from one extreme to the other, I am always dressed too hot and shortly afterwards too cold, or I have to use much more power because of the crosswind. So all the time I'm getting dressed and undressed, half on , three-quarters off, opening the jacket a little wider, closing it again because of the wind, and so on and so forth.
In the end, I find the ideal position is to put my jacket only half on and tie the other half around my waist. It looks rather strange but "form follows function" in this case.

In Caen, I visit the local Memorial de Caen, which deals with the Allied landings in Normandy during the Second World War. After a few hours, I reach the end of the exhibition (already completely saturated with information) and add the special exhibition 'Cold War' at the end. The two living room photos in the gallery are supposed to give an insight into a West and an East living room.
😵‍💫 Very exciting, but I would have preferred a 2-day ticket, given the wealth of information.

The last film shown there summarises the exciting European history in the 19th and 20th centuries very well and leaves me wanting to do more research.Read more
