I really enjoyed our two days at Mont Saint Michel. The church was absolutely beautiful, and HUGE. To think it takes up the entire hill, and that its been there for centuries! I really wish I'd had the chance to go to mass there. Yesterday morning, Kara and I got up and went for a run. We ran from our hotel to Mont Saint Michel and back, probably about 3 miles. Our group had a tour of the Mont in the morning, and sadly the tour was thoroughly disappointing and frustrating. It wasn't a private tour, so there were about 40 French people huddled around one man who spoke really quickly and made lots of jokes that NO ONE in my group understood. We were all disappointed.
Lunch was yummy: salade du chevre chaud (hot goat's cheese), cocotte d'agneau (lamb stew), and framboise melba (a rasperry sundae). After a bit of shopping, Jen, Kara, and I walked back to the hotel. We stopped and took lots of pictures with the mont in the background. They're great. Then Jen and I hung out with the boys before dinner. We watched Miss Congeniality! Haha. The boys actually wanted to. Seriously.
This morning Peter and I went for a run. He runs so much faster than Kara, but thats a good thing. We ran to the Mont and back in about 25 minutes. It took Kara and I just over 30 the day before. Whew.
We loaded the bus and are now heading for Chartres, our last stop of the trip.
A bientot.
