Normandy, continued

The previous post got published before we were ready. The photos show, as well as Bayeux, Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc, two of the beaches in the American Sector. Finally, we see the American Cemetary overlooking Omaha Beach. It is a moving and beautiful area. We took an all day tour with a French tour company specializing in the invasion. Very well informed and articulate British guide. Tomorrow we take another tour featuring the events surrounding the Band of Brothers, part of the 101 st Airborne "Screaming Eagles." The last picture is of a carving on the wall of a memorial at the American Cemetary.
