Deauville and Honfleur 2008

The girls and I went on a weekend trip to Normandy. We booked the car, THEN looked for a hotel on the busiest travel weekend in France, which is why we ended up sleeping on a double-decker bus. It had a cute table and bar, and electricity and indoor plumbing.
But it also had a faintly musty smell to it and just wasn't the type of place you could get comfortable. It did have a cute terrace, but the chairs and table were way too rusty to sit on.
But when in France (and staying in a crummy bus), drink wine. Which is what me, Genevieve, Kerstin, and Ange did and it did help the smell a little. The next day, though, we all agreed to check out ASAP and head to city of Deauville. We had a nice lunch at a nice place that wasn't musty, and then set off to find a new place to sleep for the night. We couldn't find anything in Deauville so we decided to head to Honfleur, but of course we made a pit stop at the beach first.
Honfleur is a super cute town and we stayed at a super cute hotel and then after dinner we came across a super cute town square where all the locals were dancing to live music in honor of Bastille Day. So we joined in. The next day we ate the world's biggest breakfast in the harbor of Honfleur, before heading back to Paris for the evening fireworks.
