Pack your overnight bags mes amis!
These past two days we have been staying in the town of Saint Malo. Our group ventured to Mont Saint Michel yesterday-two hours outside of Cherbourg. I will give you a more detailed run down of St Mont Michel another day BUT it is a city built by this bishop that looks like it is a city built on a mountain. Legend goes: the angel Michael came to the Bishop to build a church and the bishop refused. The second time the angel appeared- he tapped his finger on the bishops head and said basically YOU WILL BUILD THIS CHURCH! Needless to say, the bishop built this grand church. Also, many people believe the quarter sized hole that was left in the bishops skull was the angels ‘touch’. Today we travelled to the basilica where that relic is held and actually saw the skull housed in this ornate gold/glass case. Right now it is a very holy period soo many things are closed down; etc. Our bus passed by a church that just let out of mass and it was really cool to see all the people dressed up in their Sunday(Thursdays) finest. Okay I have got to run because the internet cafe is about to close BUT next time I will talk about Mt.St.Michel and all its beauty and tourist glory AND some of the towns we’ve been exploring. This weekend some students may be going to Paris but it depends on the train/bus schedule. FINGERS CROSSED!
à bientot!
