A comment by Binkley on Tertian Fever ♠ Fièvre Tierce

Just an aside.. I was in France last October or so, and I decided to drive from Caen out to see the American Cemetery, near Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer, on a bright and sunny Saturday afternoon.. What I found was a line of cars being turned away at the gate because apparently, 3:00 is when it closes (it was around 3:30).. LOTS of pissed off Americans that had driven way out of their way, all for nothing (the town Saint-Laurent-sur-Mer is really out of the way, requiring a longish drive up a one lane road).. I had to satisfy myself with a picture of the site where the dead were originally buried (before they were disinterred and moved up to the big cemetery..).. in case anyone would like to see this, the picture is at http://www.qwertyuiop.us/photos/Paris/small/IMG_0490.jpg (omit the "small" for a bigger [3.3MB]) pic).
