Bastogne


This is our first major Site of Scorchmarks Interest. It's a reasonably pretty little place, conspicuously constructed after the Second Great Unpleasantness. In fact, its hard to spot a pre-war building anywhere. Crumbs, this place took a pounding.

There's a Sherman tank in the main square so we park behind it and do the touristy thing, including looking in the big hole in the side & trying not to think what it was like insider there after that hit. Unfortunately, once you've seen the tank then you've seen all there is to see. After guzzling some water, we head off to go straight through Luxembourg for Germany.
