Global Wandering

Mont-St.-Michel

Breanna and I left Paris and spent a few days in the Loir Valley to admire the castles, the poppies and a local zoo. We stayed in a quaint B&B in Amboise where there was no Internet service. Hence no posts. Now we are staying on the island of Mont-St.-Michel, founded circa A.D. 500, population 34 and lo and behold they have WIFI.

The Mud Flats

This is an amazing place. It sits on a mudflat but when the tide moves in, it moves in fast. We walked the mudflats about 7 PM in the evening and the sea was miles away. Two hours later the mud was covered with ocean.

Breanna watches the tide come in

I've never seen the tide move that quickly. It had an almost tsunami like eeriness to it. Tomorrow we hike to the top of the abbey and then we are off to the D-Day beaches.
