the next day we started off....
we drove up to utah beach which was about 45 min away...it has the big beach and some monuments to see....they also have a little museum there....we ate lunch there...(while there a group of a father, son and grandson took our picture for us, this was interesting because we saw them throughout our trip to france)....it was windy and cold up there...in fact, on the beach i felt like i was going to fall over!
we drove down to omaha beach which is a really large beach...
from there we went to the american cemetery which was amazing to see....so many crosses....takes your breath away...but, by that time is was REALLY raining and windy...so we hurried through that...
drove back to bayeux and we're able to go see the bayeux tapestry...this tapestry is really old....from the 10th century...it has a cool story in it...i loved seeing such a fantastic piece of history....
i could not get over normandy when i visited the first two times and i need to go back! i am watching band of brothers right now and need to visit all over again!
