Day 4 - D-Day, Mont St Michel, and Lost in Translation

Today started out with a Croissant and a short walk to the meeting point for our tour of the D-Day landing sites. We booked a tour with Overlord Tours and our guide, Olivier, picked us and 4 other folks from Louisiana for about a 8 hour adventure. We saw Omaha beach, Utah Beach, Pointe du Hoc, the American Cemetery, and about a million other things. After the tour was over, we high-tailed it out of Bayeux and went on toward Mont Saint-Michel. We got there about 7:30 or so and milled around for a couple hours, and got to see the sun go down over the Atlantic. Let me say that of all the things I have ever seen the lit-up fortress of Mont Saint-Michel is the most spectacular. Period. Bill thought that he wanted to rule the world from William's castle in Caen but after seeing this thing totally changed his mind. Too bad I called dibs on it first...lol. After this was a 3:30 trip back to Paris.

Well, 4 hours if you don't get lost. We did. Coming into Paris. Took us another hour to finally find the apartment. Finally went to bed about 3:30 am. SLEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
