Veterans Day 2011 - Paris and Normandy

I decided to take a break from Algiers for a long holiday weekend.  I flew to Paris, then headed to Normandy.  My friends Rani and Kurt live in the region.  I spent most of the weekend with Rani, Kurt and their son Noah.  We went to the coast and Omaha and Utah beaches.  I can't think of a more appropriate time to visit.  Here are some photos from the trip.
