It's almost over :(

What a day! We had someone in another group stay home (sick) today, and I said, "I wouldn't have wanted to miss this day, it was great". But then.. I wouldn't have missed any of them.

Today we went on a walking (AGAIN) tour of St Malo, the walled city. It is a very independent city, the guide (Coco) kept calling it "My City". It is the city where Jacques Cartier is from, so we got to see where he was buried. Then we split up and had lunch and did some shopping. Crepes Flambee - just so Riley could see them burn.

After lunch, off to Mont St-Michel. Francy, our guide, says it is one of the "wonders of the world", and it sure was beautiful. Very old, on an island, LOTS of stairs, lovely cathedral, knights' hall.... Took lots of pictures.

Then back to the hotel for supper. They sure know how to put on a spread here (and great Brie!)

Now we're all off to bed, as we leave tomorrow morning at 7:00 for Chartres and Paris, which means a 5:30 wake-up call.

'Night, everyone!
