Thursday the 15th

Sorry this is so late! I've been very very busy and don't have much time to blog.

So on Thursday, our third day, we took a bus to the town of Caen. There, we visited a World War II museum that was very interesting, but very sad at the same time to see how many people died in the war.

After that, we took a short bus ride with a tour guide accompanying us to see the Amercian cemetery for those who feel at the D Day beaches. It was very inspiring to see how many people had died for the freedom of so many people they had never met. It was staggering to see the white crosses (and Stars of David) stretching out in every direction into the foggy day. Did you know there are only four woman in the entire cemetery?

After that, we drove to the Juno beaches to see where the tanks were on D Day. They were pretty far away from the actual beach, but they were pretty effective, even from that distance.

After the group came back and had dinner, most of us went bowling in one large group. This type of bowling was different than the bowling we were used to becaue they were the large balls! It was an upbeat ending to what had been a mostly somber day.

Nous passons un bon séjour en Rouen!
