PUBLIC HOLIDAY

My adult kids have just returned from Corsica, so for the next few days I'll be posting favorite pics from their holiday, making it in a way, public. Coincidentally, today is a public holiday; France and Europe commemorate May 8, 1945, the date when World War II allied forces formally accepted Nazi Germany's unconditional surrender, putting an end to Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. Did you know that Ajaccio, in the aerial view of the coastline above, was the very first French city to be liberated during WWII?
