After the museum we headed off to Omaha Beach. The museum was a good way to prepare for imagining what the soldiers went through to liberate France.
We went up on the cliff and checked out a German bunker that has been closed off.
The French cows still enjoy the countryside on the cliffs, the wild roses still grow and the ocean scenery is still beautiful.
Under the ground though is still evidence of Hitler's evil work. This is one of the bunkers were big guns were trained on the ocean. The walls were 10' thick.
