... because we did not understand their map. When we booked in i asked about getting to Mont St Michael the receptionist told us there was only one bus a day and it did not return untill after our train was scheduled to leave to Paris tomorrow..another dissapointment. We could not book in untill 4:00 so we left our bags in the luggage room and walked along the beach to the old part of town, which was an ...

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.

... one big long hallway with a spiral staircase (leading to the unbelievably perfect for a horror film attic) on one end and the bathroom (see photo) on the other. Actually thats wrong there is a door next to the staircase. The door leads to a bedroom. This bedroom is where Sophie's Great-Grandmother lived (and I can only assume died). Now keep in mind I never asked anything about Sophie's Great-Grandmother but I couldn't help ...

... that we drove to Dinan which I loved! What a cute city. It was as if Walt Disney himself created this picture-perfect little town. I cannot believe that people live there all year. We have Fifi the Fiat until Monday morning, so who knows where she'll bring us tomorrow....we're thinking of heading east this time. And like always, the weather promises to be horrible. But nonethess, Fifi the Fiat made for my first wonderful, and memorable, Bastille Day in France.

... The find of the day though was a GIANT meringue au chocolat. It had to be a foot long! We sat on a corner and ate almost all of it - making a big mess in the process (which is bad because they are tres stingy with the napkins!) Now, by the time we left Dinan it was about noon. Our plan was to drive to the coast - St. Malo or Cancale - to have a seafood lunch. (Again, our constant search for food.) We made it to St. Malo but what we could see didn ...
