Waking up just in time for breakfast, we quickly got ready and headed out to the hotel lobby. Today was the day I was going to see Richard Winters and deliver the Paratrooper Monument its flowers on Utah Beach.
Unfortunately, Utah beach was over an hour away by cab. A 140 Euro cab ride one way. I vowed to return with my mother one day to deliver those flowers. The number one item on my bucket list remains.
Instead of venturing to Utah Beach, Mia and I explored Caen. We saw William the Conqueror's castle, the Abbey's (male and female), and explored the city. We walked the city streets and stopped in many shops including a brewery and a chocolateire.
We met up with classmates at a small creperie and headed back to the hotel to pack and prepare for the next day's early flight home.
