I really enjoyed Normandy yesterday, which was a real
eye-opening experience for me. It is humbling to consider the immense
sacrifices that men my age and even younger made so that I could live the life
I live, and dream the dreams I dream. In many ways, their sacrifice is a
beautiful reflection of what Christ did for us, although on a much smaller
scale. Historical sites such as Normandy which commemorate sacrifice can make
the Gospel that much more real to us.
The day was not without classic Sachem irony however. I
wound up having to walk 2 hours (maybe a 20 minute drive) with three 40-pound
bags to the train station. That was inconvenient. What was even more
inconvenient was having to do it all over again when I got to Rennes because I
didn’t have enough money for a taxi and the hotel. Needless to say, I’m pretty
sore right now, and my clothes were absolutely drenched in sweat when I got
here yesterday evening. But I made it!
Looking forward to the adventure in store today!
