Driving Like Jason Bourne to D-Day Beaches

We decided to rent a car from Caen, Fr to get to the beaches where D-Day happened on June 6, 1944. It was a somber and educational experience. We spent a couple hours walking along the beach, through cemetary and in the museum pondering the events of that important day when so many men lost their lives fighting for freedom, safety and peace. While there, I began imagining allied troops storming up the hill in the midst of gunfire as their friends fall next to them.

One of the perks of this trip was that we had to rent a car. It was a tiny little french car--and a good thing it was tiny because some of the towns we drove through left no room for error as they snaked in between stone homes 10 feet apart.

Here is a video of Andrew passing some slower traffic... using a bike path.
