D day, H hour
I can give detailed descriptions of Amsterdam and Brugge if you want them later but there is so much to catch up on. Kent and I are in Bayeaux in northern France paying too much for the internet, on computers with stupidly set up keyboards. Anyways the three of us arrived in Bayeaux without a hitch. We even got in early. Switching trains was a little crazy, but all connections were made. We arrived around 5:30 or 6 at this little horse farm that really didn't look like a bed and breakfast at all. Actually we walked by it the first time. The second time Maggie recognized her family friends and they greeted us with open arms, but also told us maggies parents had gone to the train station to pick us up at what they thought would be our arrival time of 8. Oh well. We got into their room and demolished any piece of food on their table and in the fridge. Kent and I even used the shower. Luckily they came back early and didn't have to wait at the train station. That night they took us out to dinner, and very graciously paid for kent and I. the next day we were taken to Omaha beach and saw all related monuments and important sites relevant to the d day invasion. It was so cool and interesting and hard hitting. After that afternoon activities included naping because I seem to be coming down with a cold. Kent and I hung out with Maggies brother Trevor and his friend Jullian for an hour or so and then other factions came back from their various activities and then it was time for another dinner that maggies parents graciously paid for again! Kent and I appreciated that a lot and thanked them. We did not last long after that and it was bed time pretty soon after getting back. This morning we packed and they dropped kent and I at the train station. We managed to miss the one train to Roscoff, where our ferry leaves from, so we are going to a close enough town for the night. We leave for Ireland on another overnight ferry where we will spend the last 4 days and then home.
