Thanks, Gents, I'm glad you're enjoying. I have at least two more of these photo features "in the can" and waiting to space them out a bit. It was an awesome tour with the Young Swain, whom you see sitting astride the 6" gun.

Wine in Normandy, beer in Alsace, Bastogne and Germany! Local beers rock. Best beer? Paeffgen in Cologne.
