Rather than spend another day in smelly Paris, Jesse and I took a train to Normandy to visit Juno Beach. At Juno Beach, just outside of the village of Courseulles-sur-Mer, we visited the Canadian Juno Beach Centre which memorializes the beach taken by Canadian forces during the D-Day invasion. The Centre is only manned by Canadians, so we met some nice employees from Montreal who we hung out with while waiting for the introductory film to start. After seeing everything that this Centre had to offer, we headed out to the beach to play in the sand as the tide was coming in. We found some sea-shells and sat in the grass for a while before treating ourselves to a few pastries and then we headed back to the train station to continue our journey to Amsterdam.
