Places in Normandy

There are some famous places in Normandy and Gabe and I have done our best to get to them. Probably the two most famous are the D-Day Beaches and Mont Saint Michel. Both were striking in there own ways.

Below is Mont Saint Michel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mont_saint_michel), an abbey that is about 15 miles from the cheese farm. It's been around for a long time, making the tour quite fascinating.

This is a picture of some of the nearly 10,000 graves at the American Military Cemetary near Omaha Beach. The visit was rather sobering and raised some challenging questions...
