'A Canadian man was killed in Caen today crossing the street . . .'
Don't mind the dark humour in the subject title. It's just been a little joke I've had for myself all trip whenever I walk across a street, over a bridge . . . y'know, news stories and all.
"Witnesses say he was stabbed after inadvertently calling a local man a giant spoon..."
Aaaaanyways . . . regarding my train rides:
-Yes, Beautiful, I should be arriving at Rotterdam CS at 16:06 on June 8th. Cannot wait to see you there! Oh, and did you watch Pirates 3 yet? I think I may need to do that while in your town . . .
Regarding how lucky I am:
-I'm spending a lot of money doing this. Like, most of my life savings thus far. Don't forget that, now, when I come home I'll be broke and unemployed!
Ahem . . . so yes, Caen and the surrounding area is significantly badass. Today and yesterday, I have been to:
-The Caen Memorial, which is a gigantic museum/memorial from the end of the First World War to today. It's very impressive and everyone must come here some day.
-The Ducal Castle in Caen, which William the Conqueror built more or less. I've learned that I enjoy looking through stone battlements . . . lotsa pictures through them and stuff . . .
-Sword Beach, at Ouistreham in Normandy. The beach itself is . . . well, just a beach now. I did go to the No.4 Commando museum, though, which was nifty enough. I didn't have time to go through the really awesome-looking "Grande Bunker", though, which REALLY sucks because it looked cool . . . dang.
-Pegasus Bridge/Memorial. Who saw The Longest Day or played Call of Duty? Y'know that unique-lookin' bridge that British airborne troops captured the night before D-Day? Yeah, I was there. INFINITELY badass place to be. Again, everyone must come here some day.
So that's Saturday. So far so good. Tomorrow begins my ultimo-Canadian voyage to Juno Beach . . . it's Sunday, so the bus schedule is sparse and I gotta pay attention . . . but I am very excited about all this. Should be good.
. . . by the way, it's totally weirding me out that it'll be 10pm and it'll STILL be light out! Man, long days in France, I tell ya . . .
I think that's about all I have to say for now. I'm still alive! AND I bought one of those annoying D-Day crickets to play with, with probably several more to be bought in the near future! "click-clack!"
Oh yeah, I heard my brother got home safe and gave an exemplary account of how well I took care of him in Europe. Booyah for me? I think so. Self-sufficiency-rating with The Mother hath just gone up several notches. Again, booyah.
A'ight dudes, you take care of each other now. Peace.
