November 10th France

11/10/2018

Today’s pace took on a much slower frequency.  Gladly.  Woke up and actually had a very relaxing breakfast and departure. 

First stop was the Pegasus Bridge, taken by the British gliders and paratroopers to take the bridge for the invasion 6-6-44

Hung out at the 3 Glider cafe on the river next to the bridge and a very nice museum at the Pegasus Bridge.  Met a British Scout troop, and Bernie made a typical speech to them.

Onto Pointe du Hoc and Utah Beach, and found a great grocery store, resembling the Super Wal Mart of France.  Got a bunch of shrimp with Marcus for a great dinner.


The rest of the crew is partying on into the night.
