Lots of Pictures from Caen :)

Omaha Beach Memorial Museum

I actually never knew why these were all along the beach. They were there to prevent boats from coming onto the beach. When we invaded, it was low tide. I know you all are very smart and already knew this though ;)

Inside the museum. I have no idea what pictures you want to see. I have over 450 to go through from this day alone.





American Soldiers' Cemetery in Caen

Inscription: "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."

Unknown soldier




The cemetery overlooked the sea. It was a very pretty place!


"I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish."

No picture can truly capture the magnitude of how many crosses there are.

Don't be fooled - it is NOT light in the bunkers.

I literally could not see my hand in front of my face. I used the flash as my light to see where I was going.

View of the area where the bunkers are. It was crazy to see the pockmarks.


Of course Trevor had to scare me to death by playing around in the dark bunkers. I know it looks light here, but seriously it's only because of my flash.

Castle

The church in Caen. (The name escapes me.)
