Reluctantly, I have to admit that the Americans do it up right! The memorial centre, films, dedications and cemetery were exceptional and gave their veterans the respect and dignity they deserve. Not that Juno was not good, but the American site was unreal,
We were rally surprised to be so emotional over it.
There are 10,000 soldiers buried there and every row of headstones is soldier straight. It is on a cliff overlooking the landing beach and the setting could not be more perfect.
We ended the day just walking in the town of Bayeux before heading back for the night.
Tomorrow we leave here for our last night in Paris before heading home.
It has been a fantastic trip but we are tired travelers and looking forward to the comfort of being home.
Talk to you tomorrow as we say au revoir Paris.
