We spent time at 5 American cemeteries, some Brit and French, and one German WWI burial ground. All in all a fantastic trip.

Thanks for the explanation, Bjorne. That's the way to do it. So much history in the "old world" it's obvious you appreciate that aspect of travel.
My brother and his family vacationed in Italy last year but I don't think they visited anything more than the typical tourist spots.
Thanks again for your photos - they really give one pause - at any time - but especially this weekend.
All the best,
Baz
