Happy VE (Victory in Europe) Day

It's special to be here on VE day which is the official end of WWll in Europe when Germany formally surrendered to the Allies. It is a national holiday celebrated with somber rememberance and then family time along the promenade. We, three, started the day with cafe au lait and croissant at the Halles (market) and learned that tomorrow the market will have twice as many vendors, yay! Kerri also ordered an egg and cheese galette to share. We then said au revoir to Kerri as she's off to visit a friend for a few days, but we'll meet with her again on Sunday when we prepare to volunteer at the pilgrim office together. Sue and I spent the day walking through the old town and down along the water's edge. We walked across a bridge to The Rocher de la Vierge and listened to a musician sing American and French tunes. We found a memorial to those who perished in WWl and WWll with fresh flowers arranged at its base. We also keep spotting artwork on buildings by an artist, known as Invader, that is inspired by the old video game Space Invaders.Read more
