Woke up early because we knew we had a long day ahead of us. Today, we left Spain and drove most of the way across France to a small town called Saint James. After nine hours of driving we were pretty tired and Dawn was hoarse because she had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird out loud to entertain ourselves (beats french radio anyday!). When almost to the hotel, we caught a small glimpse of Mont Saint Michel and that was enough to recharge us. Found the hotel and then headed out. Just happened to drive by an American WWII cemetary... very somber and it really makes you think about the sacrifice these men made. Anyway, paid our respects and then went to the Mont.
The Mont is incredible as it rises out of the bay. You can see it from miles away but up close... wow! Walked around and then chose of the restaurants to have supper. I ordered something safe but Dawn on the other hand, wanted to try something from this area. She tried the soup of the day, called the Normandy soup... when it arrived, she realized it was a combination of cow intestines and cow tongue soup! The smell was exactly the same as a dairy farm... cow poop! It was almost bad enough that I lost my appetite. Luckily, her dessert was pretty good and covered up the poop breath smell! We made a fun video for Aiden and Adia. Hope to post when we have a better internet connection. Tomorrow, Normandy!
