Spring Break - France

[LeatherfaceFan07 ●]

About a month ago I went to France with school on a WWI and WWII battlefields trip, in particular the Somme of WWI and Normandy Invasion sites of WWII. I wasn't sure if anyone here is a history buff but I thought I'd post them for the sake of those who are. These are just a few of my favorite pics I'm posting here but I'll also post the link to my photoucket album. I still need to put in like 114 photos so some are missing. Any questions about any of them, just ask. I'll be glad to try and answer them. Enjoy!Album link: <a href=\"http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/\" target=\"_blank\">http://s236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/F...Spring%20Break/</a><img src=\"http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/France08422.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />Napoleon's original burial stone from St. Helena:<img src=\"http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/France08428.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />It's windy at the top of that darn tower<img src=\"http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/France08432.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />German battery still standing...<img src=\"http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/France08366.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />...German battery with a direct hit<img src=\"http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff314/FieldsA07/Spring%20Break/France08362.jpg\" border=\"0\" class=\"linked-image\" />

Heh it cost me a fair amount but it was worth every penny. Something about college I'll never forget. To hell with getting tanked and doing irresponsible things in Florida, Myrtle Beach, etc. haha

Basically the only way I would go to France is how I ended up going, on a WWI and WWII Battlefields trip. I'm more of a Germany kind of person myself. Thanks for the comments everyone and again if you have any questions about any of the photos I'll do my best to answer them.
