And, actually, we arrived there ON the anniversary of D-Day, so there were all of these veterans and such there, which made it really neat.
We had a mini lecture, and a private wreath laying ceremony (ps: on another blog, when talking about a wreath, one blogger called it a "reef," I didn't have the heart to correct her!)

Then we took a tour of the beach, and by tour, they said, LOOK! the beach!
Standing with our feet in the freezing North Atlantic.
The beach where so many men sacrificed their lives for freedom.
Then, Katie and I took a little tumble into a bunker. And landed on briars. For some reason it horrified me.

These next couple are taken at the International D-Day memorial.

That's it folks! We took a ferry back to England, stayed at a hotel near Heathrow, then left in the morning!
