Oxford to Dover, Eu, and Caen

On Sunday, Dad, Faith, and Lillie went to church while the rest finished packing. Grace Lee and her kids said prayers for us, not expecting us to actually be there. Dad said goodbye to the Huangs, Tucks, Chens, Lees, and others.

We drove to Dover very quickly, eating Sainsbury sandwiches in the car.

The hostel at Eu was not as nice as Melrose or Hawkshead, but was OK. It was in the kitchens of the Eu castle.

We stopped at Caen the next day. The kids liked climbing on the cannon.

From Caen Castle

The Normandy Museum first floor was very good. Gaul in the Bronze Age seems very civilized, if illiterate, even before the Gauls came with iron around 500 B.C. . The Gauls had their own coinage.
