Skies, seas, and Cherbourg

I’ve been to Cherbourg in Normandy twice, each time was a three-day stay. Yet, I’ve never written about it. For a period of time, the circumstances under which I made these visits bore too much burden on my heart and my mind. After almost three years, I dug out these memories and looked back at those very peaceful days that I spent in Cherbourg, and there was nothing to regret.

Cherbourg is a port city at the tip of northwestern France, part of the department of Lower Normandy, where the sea seemed to be an indispensable part of the people’s lives in Cherbourg

It’s really difficult for me to write an entry on Cherbourg. The trip meant so much to me emotionally that I cannot bring myself to remember it without feeling deeply moved. As such, my fingers hesitate to go any further. I can’t even look at the pictures I took without shaking a bit.

In a nutshell, I left my heart in Cherbourg, and it’s gonna be another month and a half before I go and try to bring it back.

I can go on no further. Let’s hope Liege this weekend heals me a bit.
