Bayeux: Oct. 17th

We checked out of our hotel in Caen late morning and headed to the train station to catch a ride to Bayeux, a small Normandy town. We got in late afternoon and checked into a family-run hotel, Hotel de la Ville, located right next to the beautiful and grand St. Sacrament Cathedral (similar appearance to the Notre Dame). After checking in, we strolled around the city center. We enjoyed window shopping at all the French bakeries. Liya had to stop in the Haribo candy shop to buy a bag full of different gummies, which was almost empty by the time we returned to the hotel. We stopped by the local market and bought water, apples and bananas, wine, beer and chips – that was our dinner  We ended the evening with several phone calls to our loved ones back in the States! Unfortunately, we had to leave a few VM’s for some of our family members; however, we were elated to connect with Liya’s dad, Luther, Ben’s momma, Sweet Sally, and Ben’s Grandpa and Grandma Lundy who are holding the fort down in good ol’ Madras, Oregon.
