Today we woke up extra early to take a bus ride with our correspondents to Mont St. Michel. Just the view on the bus was enough to amaze all the first time tourists (AKA: us). We had some free time before walking up and taking our tour of the abbey, since there was a strike going on that forbade us from entering any further. We walked around for about an hour, exploring, looking at the view, and taking pictures. During our audio tour of the Abbey, we saw the balcony, the dining hall, the church, and much more. It is amazing to see such an old building still be intact and in good condition. After we walked back down and had a picnic on the grass before heading to St. Malo, known for it's founding of crepes. While some of us went for the crepes, others went for ice cream and/or gaufres (waffle with powdered sugar or Nutella). It was a cute town with shopping areas on the water. Overall it was a fun day. We spent it with everyone in the French exchange (even the boys)! The weather, once again was beautiful. It was such a great experience!
