Day 6 - photos and activities (set 2)

We hope you are enjoying the pictures.  Yesterday was quite rainy but we still enjoyed Giverny and Monet's gardens.   Today was a beautiful day spent in Normandy.  We visited German bunkers along the coastline and you will see the students exploring these.   These bunkers were taken out on June 6th early in the attack.   We then explored the town of Arrongens which was where the British stormed the beaches.  You will see the floating port that still remains.   We headed to The cemetery at Colleville from there.  What a coincidence.    The students sang America the Beautiful, Irish Blessing and Star Spangled Banner.  They placed a floral wreath at the memorial.  We walked down to the Utah Beach and reflected on the more than 9000 graves.  It was very special and we will have video and audio loaded when we return.  We traveled to another port called HonFleur for dinner and shopping.   The evening was sunny and warm.  Curfew is 11PM.  We visit Mont--St-Michel tomorrow.   The trip continues to be have special special moments each and every day.   Bon Jour!
