Normandy, France

A friend and I rented a car for a steal and drove 4 hours from Brussels, Belgium to Normandy, France only getting lost once or twice. We visited the D-Day beaches Omaha, Sword, Juno and Gold. We visited the cliffs that Rangers scaled to capture large German guns, walked on large concrete blocks used to build a floating dock at Arromanches, and saw preserved fortifications at a number of the landing beaches. The American graveyard at Omaha beach contained thousands of graves of military men and women who died in France.
