Best Field Trip EVER
This is why it was a good idea to go to France. I don't know what anybody else's Wednesday looked like, but I skipped out of my classes to join a field trip to Mont Saint-Michel and Saint-Malo.
What does that mean?
The first part of my day I spent at Mont Saint-Michel, a fortified abbey that was built over the course of 500 years on a 300-foot hill of rock that juts out of the English channel. At high tide, it's surrounded by water. At low tide, it's surrounded by quicksand. Forget about finding a watch in the desert; if you want a natural formation to make you suspicious that some mischievous mind was planning stuff from the beginning, then this is what you're looking for.
Picture: I spent the morning at Mont Saint Michel.
The afternoon I spent in Saint-Malo, a fortified coastal city that was a center of pirate activity for a couple hundred years. This place just blew me away.

It was too big of an experience to cover in one post. More to come!

4 years actually to the day- but what's more amazing to me is that we haven't seen each other since I was in Chicago which was May of 2002- how wrong is that?
Well, let's see. It's LESS wrong than removing environmental protection from environmental protection zones, but it's MORE wrong than putting a musical scene into Return of the Jedi.
And you've got to admit that ROTJ thing is pretty wrong.
(bzzz)
