Day 30 - Wednesday, May 23rd - Bayeux to Honfleur

We are lucky again today with beautiful weather for our trip to Honfleur.  Today was supposed to be Terry's third D-Day beach site day, but he decided he had seen enough.  He wasn't all that interested in the British and Canadian sites (my apologies to any British and Canadians who might be reading my blog).  Anyway, because we didn't stop for any sightseeing, we arrived in Honfleur before lunch so it allowed us ample opportunity to check out the town.  It is a lovely little seaport town which was, and still is, a hangout for artists.  Painters such as Boudin and Monet came to Honfleur for the light and started the Impressionist movement by creating the Honfleur school.
