mont saint michel

Mont Saint Michel is amazing!! It looks like a floating castle/abbey in the middle of farmland...which it basically is. There is only one road through the whole 'village' and when the tide comes in, the building becomes an island. It's built with gates and restaurants at the bottom, then a few stores and houses which lead up to a museum and the abbey itself. You'll have to google it for a fuller picture, but I felt like I was in Disneyland or a Hollywood set. All of these outings we've had seem unreal and larger than life...they feel like a dream.



Michel himself...slaying a demon. Legit:

10 things I love about France:
-The architecture, the cobblestone, the history that oozes out of every cathedral and house and street.
-Seeing french romance everywhere haha.
-Care free attitudes...exhibited in the slow cafe bustle, the topless beaches, and the art galleries.
-Nutella bagettes for breakfast every morning. And nutella crepes for lunch. And spoonfuls of nutella every night.
-Loooooooong days
-Reading Pascal's Pensees and contemplating my own life and future.
-Spending every waking moment with my dream team :)
-Being the crazy Americans on the patio with an amazing playlist.
-Pear Cidre and Rose Wine.
-The wide third story window sills where I can sit and write endlessly.

5 things I miss about the US:
-Chai tea and iced drinks...I love the coffee here, but there's no such thing as a mocha, no chai tea lattes, and no ice to be found to add some flair. Oh Cafe Ladro how I miss thee.
-Intersections...I'm so tired of roundabouts on the freeway.
-A boy named David Wayne Moore.
-Not feeling helpless when I have a question or need directions or don't know how to order anything other than nutella crepes.
-Thai food, Greek food, Mexican food, etc.
