We made it to Normandie yesterday. On the way, I got eyed by the train conductor because my feet were on the seat in front of me...I quickly took my feet off and brushed off the seat. Just so you know, I wasn't the only one with my feet up, I just got lucky. I think Marnie and I are going to make it a point to see how many times we can get yelled at while in France. Oh well, live and learn.
This picture was taken at Omaha Beach today. It sits right below the American Cemetery. We brought lunch and ate on the sand. It was pretty chouette!

Here's the American Cemetery. There were literally thousands of these markers with soldiers name etched on them. It was a very remarkable place. There was a very reverant spirit there as people walked around. Marnie got yelled at when she knelt down by a marker to take a photo. Apparently you can't kneel on a grave AND take a picture at the same time.

It was just the most beautiful day.The sun was out, but it wasn't too hot. There was even a slight breeze. It was just perfect....serene even.

Sideways shot at Bayeux; the small town trains stop in. We took a train from Caen to Bayeux in order to take the bus to the Normandy beaches. This little town was so cozy, so quaint, so charming. It was so French! It had tiny streets, cobblestone, and cafés. And of course, it had pretty flowers everywhere. Fortunately, no one got yelled at during our quick visit here....

Beautiful, no?
