Ahhh Normandy...

So today we went to the Grand Bunker here in Normandy, then we went to see more bunkers nearby, then to Pegasus Bridge, then finally to Caen to see William the Conquerers castle! It's been a great day and we're still gonna go explore some more in a bit! I'd have to say that my favorite part of the day was Pegasus Bridge! Pegasus Bridge was literally the first bridge taken by the paratroopers. They literally landed almost perfectly, and took the bridge nearby within minutes! I found it so amazing that we were actually standing in the very spot the paratroopers landed! It was an overwhelming feeling, yet still so hard to imagine. However, it does give an idea of how brave the young men were. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunity to be here, thanks again Casey! ~*~ Rubianna
