Bianco, rosato, and rosso wines were paired with delectable local cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, eggplant and olives. But what's up with the eggs?

It’s a humbling experience to visit the Normandy It’s a humbling experience to visit the Normandy American Cemetery, 172 acres of land in Colleville-sur-Mer granted the United States by France in perpetuity. Both Mr. TWS and I had looked forward to seeing the historic places of D-Day (June 6, 1944) including Omaha Beach in the Normandy region of France. These are the sites where the military forces of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada executed the largest amphibian invasion in history beginning their fight for the liberation of Western Europe in World War II. Although we’d heard much about how moving it is to visit these sites, we felt emotions even more deeply than expected. Read more about our experience in a post about our visit a few years ago.
