La Coupole and Dieppe

The journey from Belgium to Dieppe France was a long and trying journey. Along the way we we stopped at a site where the Nazis could have sent V-2 and V-1 rockets to explode in England. The only thing stoping these attacks from happening was the D-Day landings. After learning of these events we went back on the bus and talked about the things that happened there and about World War Two.  Some of us went back to sleep to get some much needed rest. After a short three hour drive, we arrived in Dieppe and saw the beach where the Canadians and few small forces of Americans and British fought together. During our vist we tried to run up the rocky beach and had a moment of silence for the fallen soldiers. After our short visit, we finally made our way to our destination of Caen. All in all it was an very educational and exciting day, filled with much travel. Our travels may have hindered our time in Dieppe, but it had the same impact of many cemeteries we had already been to, being that it brought us a sense of pride and sorrow.
