Salut! We left St. Malo this am, the tide was up it was crazy getting out of the hotel to the bus!
Our ride to Mont St Michel was lovely. We arrived, walked up the 900 steps [the kids think there were more!] to the abbey which was beautiful [it kind of looked like a castle, and a little bit haunted] It was cold, sunny, raining, hailing.... a little bit of everything! The shops and creperies winding down the narrow cobblstone streets were so much fun.

We hopped on the bus and rode for about 4 hours, but no one complained, they were glad to have time to stretch out on our comfy warm bus. Our guide Kath [the kids love her British accent !] played the Disney movie Sleeping Beauty on the bus [the author was inspired to write the story about the chateau, Usse, which we visit tomorrow] but I bet half the kids were catching some zzz's!

We are off to dinner soon. Computer access is sketchy, I m doing the best I can to write regularly.

Everyone having a good time and doing well. They are great travellers and you should be proud of them! I am!

a la prochain ... until next time
Martha
