So I'd been moping about the state of CU's football program for a bit too long and my wife told me to pack up the baby, and some dry clothes--we were on a roadtrip in search of a little perspective.
So we spent several days in Normandy.
I'm sure many Allbuffers have visited, but it was my first trip to the region. For those of you who haven't visited, I would encourage everyone to walk the shores of Omaha Beach and between the gravestones of the American Cemetery outside of Colleville. If you can do it without a quivering chin, and damp eyes, you're more stoic than me.
Also, the Caen Memorial was impressive. We returned for a second visit in as many days.
It's nice to be in a place where American flags fly from many homes and there's a welcome word for those who speak with our accent.
Perspective restored.
