Hey...I know that place!!!
/me dorks out and watches, "The Longest Day."
The movie has just begun and I am already completely agog. I get to hear French and German (the former being understood and spoken by Kodos, the latter...she understands somewhat but still needs the sub-titles)!!!
The movie opens with footage from Pegasus Bridge in Ouistreham, France. Dock and I did a magical, history tour of Normandy for our honeymoon. We spent a considerable amount of time running around Pegasus Bridge, snapping photos and trying to imagine what it must have been like to be there in World War II. Oh...and there is the wildest, German bunker museum (Le Grand Bunker Musée) in Ouistreham that I have ever seen.
I wish I could convey the feelings that engulfed me when we visited these sites. I am still at a loss for words. That...and I'm done writing for now as I need to watch this movie.
