For the 60th anniversary of the end of WWII, the French president, Jacques Chirac, lit a flame at the tomb of the unknown soldier.
We happened to be downtown as he was doing it, so we stopped by to see him drive past. | ||

After the rest of her family had returned home, Sasha's mom stayed on a few days. On one of the days, I took off work,
and we rented a car to go to Giverny, a village where many artists in the late 19th and early 20th century settled.
It was there that Monet painted many of his best known works, and his house has ben preserved as a museum. | ||

We then left Giverny, and headed north to the town of Honfleur, which is situated on the coast. It's a well known tourist town in France,
with lots of cute shops and an amazing old wooden church. En route, we stopped for lunch, where we saw a cat. | ||
