Once again, you know my sentimental attachment to Honfleur. A city gear to the ocean and fishing, This is in the Calvados dept 14 of Normandie, and my belle France. I have several posts on it in my blog and they are all special to me. Amazing ,found me a couple pictures not yet in my blog and they should be, Therefore, let me tell you a bit about the Grande Roue ( big wheel) of Honfleur !! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
The Grande Roue at place de la Gare is 45 meters high, or big wheel or ferris wheel makes your head spin, On the east parking lot, the big wheel offers a perfect panorama of Honfleur and its surroundings, You can also see the pont de Normandie bridge, Le Havre, the entrance of the Seine and the Tancarville bridge, if it is a clear day. (see posts),
Inside small cabins, you feel comfortable. There is room for a family of six. Once all passengers have taken their place, the wheel can start. In a few seconds, we are already gaining height. Magical indeed for the whole family !

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
