... la chance de gouter à des moules pour la première fois de ma vie! Ce n&#8217;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&#8217;est un fait à vérifier!<br> Les trippes ca c'est une autre histoire...je n&#8217;ai pas r ...

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 ...

Taking the direct route for a change we drove onto Le Mont Saint Michel where had decided to stay for the night. We arrived just before sunset and secured a park at the start of the causeway in direct view of the Mont. I went out to take some photos in the last of the light while Kim prepared some nibbles and popped open a bottle of rose. Together we watched the sun go down and was rewarded by a be pretty red/pink sunset.<br> After dinner we went for a walk ...

Out of the hotel at 8:30 this morning (said goodbye to Boobie; he was indifferent) for the drive to<br>Brittany. We all knew that today would be a long bus day (5 hours), but it was really difficult to stay awake. Caught glimpses of grape vines and plenty of cows and sheep, as well as an outdoor dog obedience class. <br><br>Our lunch stop was in Fougères, which is very small but boasts a cathedral and a ruined castle. Yvonne, Bert and I ate at La Duchesse Anne and were ...

Our last official day of &#8217;work&#8217;. Jennie and Kevin have been kind enough to offer to take us to their secret camping spot near le Mont-Saint-Michel . A beautiful vista overlooking the open tide towards this beautiful island while the sun sets behind it. We were almost all alone with only 2 other camper vans at this spot and our tent out on the edge of the ...

... reading considering the title of this entry...consider yourself warned!)<br><br>I'm sure that over the last several years of having helpers at their farms, Jennie and Kevin have not had many requests to be a part of this process, but we did. Not that either of us think it's a pleasant activity, but one that is necessary if we're to eat meat. So yesterday, 2 chickens and 3 ducks went into separate pens so that their systems would be clean for ...

Mount-St-Michel is a giant abbey on an island in the middle of the sea. When it was low tide people could walk or drive to the church but it would then become completely surrounded by water by the time the tide rolled in again. The church itself is pretty amazing and it must have been even more so when it was harder to access. It makes a great photograph and is very spiritual but ...

On the third day in France, finally, I payed a visit to Mont St Michel. It was a little bit far from Paris and only one way took me 4 hours by TGV and a local bus. When I changed a train to a local bus at Rennes, I couldn't find the bus terminal. So I asked a French girl near the train station. Although she told me that she might not be able to tell me where it was ...

... euros (ces musées, un à la suite de l'autre, s'avéreront être assez plates :S). Entre les expositions muséales, on se glisse sur les remparts, se dirigeant toujours plus haut vers l'abbaye (payante) qui surplombe le mont. La vue est imprenable. Ariane et Sarah rêvent de moules-frites depuis leur arrivée en France ; c'est aujourd'hui que ça se passe enfin, mais le restaurant est plutôt poche (je paie 4 euros pour une vingtaine de frites molles), et tout de suite apr ...
