... let us into our room Bronte finished her book, now she will be bored senseless too MWHAHAHAHA.

We caught up with our laundry and then went to bed at 7:00, that is way past brontes usual bed time. i was woken up at 2AM by a group of young people yelling and screaming it sounded like they were playing football above our heads. I thought i had imagined it but Bronte told me she heard it too.

Arret d'une heure à St-Malo.

Cinq minutes après s'être stationné...il commence à pleuvoir. Mais jusqu'à là, ca allait.
Apres un certain temps, je réalise qu'il a un Énorme nuage d'une couleur douteuse qui approche un peu trop rapidement. 30 secondes apres avoir fait le commentaire, gros tonnerre et ca commence à tomber et même à grêler....

Fait du séjour à St-Malo...

... la chance de gouter à des moules pour la première fois de ma vie! Ce n’était pas si mal, je ne sais pas si je suis encore prête à en commander toute seule mais bon, c'est un début. Par contre, je crois que les huitres sont la vraie spécialité du Mont-St-Michel, mais encore là, c’est un fait à vérifier!
Les trippes ca c'est une autre histoire...je n’ai pas r ...

I went just one day to Rennes. I thought it was really pretty since all of the houses are made of
rough stones, des maisons bretonnes typiques. Aussi, les maisons sont faites
toutes un peu croches, ca donne un petit style que j'aimais bien.



Et oui effectivement, il fait beau plusieurs fois par jour. It does rain a LOT.
There is mainly what is in every french city, bars, restaurants and shoe shops!

Sunday we drove 2 hours to Bretagne (or Brittany) to Mont St. Michel. There is an abbey on top which began construction in the 700s. It's very old and medieval. There were a ton of steps we had to climb up, but once we got to the top, it was well worth it. The views were picturesque ...

... round of Affligate please!
Awoke early to freshly brewed coffee and cereal in bed - can't have eggs everyday! Kim convinced me to go for a run later today and not this morning - her reason she was hungry, but I think she was just being lazy :) Not 100% sure what lay ahead today as we had only planned as far as Vitre, which is said to revial Dinan in the mediavel town alure.

Moules, Moules, Moules eveywhere. As we drove towards our next desination the road was littered with stalls of mussels and oysters, infact this region produces 4,000 tonnes of oysters annually...guess what is on the menu for lunch! 1kg mussels and 1/2 dozen oysters for the princely sum of 6 Euro. Can't say we are missing ...

... artist Aphex Twin released a song entitled "Mt Saint Michel + Saint Michaels Mount".

... I was just about to give up on the Italian idea - I had said to myself 'I'll just go one more block and see' - when I found one! YEAH! The pasta was delicious, the service impeccable and the prices reasonable. I went to the internet cafe afterwards to kill some time until it got dark. I wanted to take some night shots of Paris as I would only be in Europe for 2 more nights. 9pm I had been told that the perfect place to see the sun set in Paris was from the ...
