Thanks to Dot for her support and love. She gave me a new beginning and a new lease on life when I was at my most vulnerable and for that I am forever grateful. Love ya sweetie.

Congratulations on getting through this grueling pilgrimage, what’s next on your bucket list? Now you get to relax with Dot and recover while ignoring all the crap news from Canada. See you when you get back home.
The Waffen SS story made it over here.
Canada is a laughing stock in Europe. Cannot believe this guy is still in power. Maybe Le Puy in 3 years if I am still alive otherwise nothing.
