Rouen France, spirit

Woman in French street
My favorite part of France is Cheryl.

Like many things, when you relax and settle in, something entirely foreign becomes remarkably familiar.

Caudebec France-day 2, spirit

Senior couple in a Germany WWII Normandy bunker
Somber moment. Somber day.

Today has been a remarkable day to be humbly grateful to visit Normandy and learn about June 6, 1942, D-Day.

Humble because of the price humans paid that day (and the days that followed) to preserve peace.

Grateful to have time, resources, and desire to visit in person.

Caudebec France day 1, spirit

French Abbey
Second Abbey visit today. This one is still in use.

Work and pray.

In silence.

Probably a few exceptions in a Monk’s life.

Could feel Claud Monet’s historic life DNA in Giveny, France.

Knew next to nothing about him before today (April 23, 2026).
