Joan of Arc's Execution, Light Show on a Cathedral and quaint HUGE area of town... so much history again!

Interesting light show against a beautiful old cathedral... About 11pm... Music played as the scenes changed... After the emotional day, it was a good respite! Slept in today... roused ourselves and left our room at NOON... We needed it after all the stuff yesterday. It was so comfy... coffee in the room and some cookies they had delivered the night before. Ah, he sweet life we can enjoy today... all because of the horrible things that happened during in the 40's yet all the countries gathering in the name of Liberty. Today... we walked all over... geocaching again got us into so places we might not have gone. Three hours all over the town of Rouen! Not really a town... it's a city... but we hung out mostly in the old Rouen... older buildings, cathedrals out the gazoo... so weird... cuz most folks here don't even attend church. They are mostly just historical buildings and that's why they are important... sad... While out caching, we met a French family... neither of us could speak each others'language but we worked together to find the last cache... it was a booger to say the least... but we got it!!!! Pauline and Simone... great minds working together! Well, it's dark out... Jerry is coming down with a stuffy nose... glad it's near the end of the trip... and it's him and not me!!! We're both looking forward to going home, but still enjoying the next couple places we will visit. I think that is the sign of a good trip...

The many faces of the Cathedral's Light show...

Our boat in the background

Funny story... Jerry is signing a geocache log there... as he was signing, a couple walks up to eat their lunch on the steps and then a HUGE tourist bus driver parks his bus, 10 feet from Jerry and turns it off.  He was going to have a bite to eat to.  Kinda hard to rehide the object when they both were right smack dab with 5 feet of it... We were laughing at the predicament!

 Way, Way off the beaten track, went through this archway to a little area protected and sweet. 

You can see it was in a bit of disarray... 

A mommy kitty was making sure I didn't go near her three little kittens... 

Aha... there was the cache! 

 Beautiful church...

 All hundreds of years old...

See the white thing in the street, walkway... It's normally up, but if a delivery truck has to get into the walkway, they slide a card in a little machine right before it... and voila... it goes down... when they pass... it comes back up... nifty we thought 

Another Cathedral... 

Thought of Diva Christy Teidke McDaniel... A fabric store!!!! 

Jerry found a cache in the area... but a pesky spider was hanging from his glasses or hair and he was batting it away... aren't you glad I shared that with you!!!! 

Me and the Diva's in 30 years!!!! 

Here was the bombed out church/cemetery where we met our French Geocaching cohorts... we didn't speak each other's language, but we got it across what we were trying to share!!! 

 Pauline and Simon

Joan of Arc... the memorial... the modern church and... She was killed in 1431...
