Our First Impressions of Arromanches-les-Bains
Seeing how yucky it was outside had me considering sleeping in all morning. But brekfast awaited us and we didn't want to make the poor hotel staff come in on Christmas Day to make our breakfast then not show up.
Out in the distance those concrete and metal forms are what is left of the immense artificial harbor the Allies built shortly after invading Europe. By choosing Arromanches as the base for our own exploration of the region we had put ourselves smack dab in the center of the 5 D-Day invasion beaches.
