As I think I've said before, you can't just drive home! You have to stop and see something on your way, or at least we do. This time it was an American Marine cemetery and battle field. We didn't really get out and explore the battlefield, but we did take a walk around the cemetery and stop in the chapel. This battle was where the Marines got their nickname Jarheads from.
As we were leaving, the two men that worked there that directed us and gave us information as we entered offered to take a group photo for us. They were so kind and seemed very glad to have visitors. I was very impressed with how well the grounds are taken care of.
And that wrapped up our trip to Normandy. You'd think we'd totally chill the next day, being a Saturday and all, but nope. We got right back at it!
