Germany week 33 Paris day 3

Germany week 33 Paris day 3 Normandy and Omaha beach
Dear all
Today we went on a trip to Normandy Beach from Paris.  Since our hotel did not give us a wake up call or seem to be able to get us a taxi it was a miracle we got here.  But sometimes when I know that I have to get up I just wake up before the wake up call or before I am supposed to.  Anyway we made it to the bus.  This day was rainy and overcast- almost exactly like it was for D Day,  The bus took us first to the museum.  It was really nice with lots of memeorabilia from that day and lots of pictures.  It was most moving and informative and they showed a 15 minute movie and at first I thought how are they going to do this in all of the languages.  But there was no commentary just footage of that day.  It did not need words.  Then we went to Omaha and to Utah beach and then to the point of the cliff where they soldiers had to climb the cliff.  I really dont know how they did that- they are truly the greatest generation and my dad-- a world war 2 vet himself-- defintiely is included in that greatest generation.  After we went to the beaches we went to Canadian Memorial and then to the American Cemetary.  It was a very moving and informative day.
When we got back to Paris we took pictures of the Eiffel tower at night- It is really awesome at night and then we took a picture of Gregg on the bridge where Jason Bourne was standing in the Bourne Identity.  He likes things like that.
Once again Hugs from Germany via Paris.
