Just back from a grand trip to Europe.
Along with five other Old Flatulent paratrooper buds, we visited airborne battlefields of WWII in France, Holland, Belgium, and Germany. Inspiring and sobering.
As is my wont, I have way more pix than anyone would have any interest in, but I won't do that here … yet.
OK, one:

We chatted a bit about how cool Norge owners are.
I got his card but have, sadly but predictably, lost it. Doh.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank them for their friendly chat and pass along some pix of them. So, if anyone knows those nice Norge folks, thank them for me and give them the photo link.

I also saw two Guzzi dealers; the first in Carentan; the other in Saint-Lô.
