The Bayeux Tapestry is located in a building next to the hospital in the village of Bayeux, France. The tapestry tells the story of the Norman Conquest. It is 230 feet long. A very interest artifact in a lovely place. As we were walking in from the parking lot, I came upon this mill. It is part of a pretty building housing apartments and a store. I was taken by it. After getting home and looking more closely at the photo, I noticed a bird on the wall. It is likely a pigeon. I could have photo-shopped this shot to look like a sunny day and brought out the colors, but is was overcast and just like this. While seeing the tapestry was wonderful, the walk there and back was just as wonderful.
The best adventures are those that contain surprises. There are wonders to be discovered by getting lost in the Highlands of Scotland or on the back roads of New England. There may just be a chance to meet a special character who changes your life. In ancient times these were sometimes known as angels.
