Bayeux

We ate a wonderful continental breakfast this morning in the hotel, and then we waited for the bus to pick us up. We were all so tired!



The bus came around 7:00 am and took us to the Caen Memorial Museum. I took a picture of Sacre-Coure from the window as we were leaving!



We got to the museum and were given an hour to look around and eat lunch. Then, we watched a video on the war, which was surprisingly good! We had more time to explore, and then around 3:30 we got back on the bus to go to our hostel.

This is the one of the earliest records of international law, from the 13th century B.C:



I'm hugging the American flag!



The hostel was so pretty! Really decorated and fun....and there was an oversized chess set outside! I roomed with Courtney, Katie, and Lael. All of the other rooms were about 4 people, except for one room that held 12 girls! Our room is the window above the doorway:





After resting in the hostel for a little bit, Lael and I walked around the city and explored. We grabbed quiche for dinner in a little bakery. Bayeaux is such a cute and quiet town, very different from Paris!



We ran into Courtney and Katie after dinner, and we all decided to have dessert crepes together! Mine was apple and cinnamon :). Then, the guys had said they were going to play frisbee in the park, so we met them out there and played for a few hours. We also took some silly pictures dancing on the fountain....
