Caen
I was suppose to go to the market today, but I woke up late, and so i'm blogging :)
Skyped the Europe gang last night and I decided not to set my alarm, and then I jumped up at 8.45am because I thought I was late for work. Omg. Also, Im having trouble switching between the french keyboard at work my american keyboard now. Haahah, its funny, my fingers seem to have a different brain of its own.
Anyway, so 2 weeks ago I went on a D-day theme Day Tour to Normandy. Went to Caen Memorial, Pointe du Hoc, The beaches for the landings, American War Memorial, and some other stuff along the way.
Apparently, on the day of the invasion, Hitler was asleep. And he only found out about the invasion at roughly 12noon when the landings and invasion started at 6.30 am, through the 4 beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beach.
I was glad I took the day tour though it was pretty expensive, met many older American or Canadian Couples/families. Also the guide was so informative, I would probably be too clueless to understand anything if not for it.
In an attempt to keep my blog post short, I'm splitting the tour into parts haha! Click below to read more!
