Ah, the D-day beaches. The first stop was the Canadian cemetery at Beny-sur-Mer. Poignant and understated:
We walked along Juno Beach where the Canadians landed:
Lunch at Aromanches (one end Gold Beach- one of the two British sections). The remnants of the Mulberries can still be seen. Don’t know what the Mulberries are? Ask the kids when we get home.
Our final stop was Pont-du-Hoc where the ranger scaled the cliff to capture the guns threatening Omaha Beach. The craters and gun emplacements have been left to give one a sense of the carnage that day.
