Dolores & Hugh in Europe: A visit to Bayeux

In the midst of a European sojourn, Dolores and Hugh visited the Bayeux Tapestry Museum, which Dolores has long wanted to see.

The museum houses the Bayeux Tapestry, an embroidered cloth nearly 230 feet long and more than 900 years old.

"Celebrating the conquest of England by William, Duke of Normandy, this linen canvas was embroidered after the Battle of Hastings (which took place October 14, 1066), probably in a monastery in the south of England," according to the museum web site.

We expect to see much more soon from Hugh and Dolores' trip.
