Saturday we ventured out to Normandie to see the D-Day beaches. Trains in France are tricky on Saturdays because they don’t run very often. After running around different coastal cities trying to find a tour going to beaches, we decided to scrap the tour idea and do it on our own; we rented a car. Not only did we rent a car, but we rented a FORD!!! It was a great day and we have the pictures to prove it…
There’s our beauty, a Ford Fiesta to take us around!

Point du Hoc where you can see where the bombing took place by allied troops, the landscape looks like the moon!

· Spencer being asked twice if he was from France because he speaks French so well!
· The amazing sights of rolling hills, stone houses and fences lining the roads, the blue blue ocean, daunting cliffs, and the sunshine
· Mackenzie nearly getting stuck in a crawl hole of an old German bunker – over ambitious!
· Coming back to our hotel to find chocolate lollipops in our room
