Travel Update

A fast update. Today, I got to visit 2 of the beaches they landed on D-Day, the American Cemetary, Pont du Hoc, see the Bayeux Tapestry and see the abbey at Mont St. Michel. I found it surreal that the beaches could be so peaceful considering the deadly combat that had taken place there. The American Cemetary was sad as there were row on row of white marble crosses and stars of David. The Bayeux Tapestry was fascinating and bigger than I thought. Mont St. Michel was awesome! If Minas Tirith were ever to exist it would look like Mont St. Michel. I was in awe walking all the walkways and seeing the various rooms of the abbey. It's been an awesome day. I can't wait for the next.
