Considering everyone did something different with their families today, I can’t speak for everyone but I can update you all on what I did. This morning everyone got up nice and early so we could get a start on the day. We all ate our usually breakfast of brioche and orange juice together, then we all got in the car and drove 3 hours to Mont St. Michel. It is considered a wonder of the western world, and is located in Normandy, France. At different times of the day, it can be considered an island depending on the height of the water which changes with the tide. We arrived around noon, then took a short shuttle ride to the actually castle itself. Upon arriving we ate lunch at a crêperie before touring the castle. We all got galettes as our entree, then a crêpe of our choice for dessert. I ate a galette with ham, egg, lettuce, and cheese, and I had a nutella crêpe for dessert, which was amazing. After eating, we went on with our tour which consisted of seeing everything inside and out. It was cool to see the water slowly rise and watch the sand disappear around the castle. After spending hours there, we took the shuttle back around 4 and got back in the car and stopped in a town in Bretagne to grab some ice cream and see the town. After spending about half an hour there, we drove to La Pointe Grouin. It is right on the ocean, and has amazing views. After our stop there, we got back in the car for the last time and drove to my exchange student’s grandma’s house where we spent the night. Overall, the day was super tiring, but definitely worth it.
