Day Seven - Les Andelys, Dieppe


I really wanted to find a castle. My hunt didn't prove successful. But I found nice gothic architecture. I walked into a church and found a huge life size sculpture of Christ after he was taken off the cross with Mary, Martha and some other people. I could go right up to it and could have touched it. Sort of made you think about what it would have been like if you had been there.
Gothic ... enough said

There is a good castle in Dieppe, the next city I visited. But it's on the other side of the pier. The pier is in the distance. I never was on that side.

A nice WWII tribute for our Canadian troops. I was totally freaked out I wasn't going to be able to find the car after visiting the beach. So I hurried up and got out of there. I was also tired of everything being in French. If we had stayed any longer I would have had to learn at least a couple more verbs.

That night we discovered our tire was blown out. I think I got too close to a curb. Anyway, we had to get a cab to the airport and a tow truck picked up the Citroen. Apparently they don't have spare tires?? Oh well. We got home ok!
