St Malo et le Mt St Michel

So I'm back from my trip to St. Malo. It was really great and I took a good deal of photos. Unfortunately not as many as last time. It's starting to look like Glennis is gonna beat me in the study abroad photo contest next fall. We spent most of the first day in St. Malo, which was a city for the Corsaires, basically pirates hired by the French government a long time ago. Unfortunately I didn't really take any good pictures there. Instead, I have a picture of a German bunker from World War 2 on a beach not far away from St. Malo.
I'm gonna try and get to the D-day beaches someday before I leave, but this one was not involved as far as I know. In a town nearby, I had to take a picture of a restaurant named after a book every French student of a few years has to have read.


Sunday we spent the day at Mt St Michel. It's a gorgeous location, but in all honesty, the buildings aren't particularly spectacular. We saw the church and a number of other buildings. Don't get me wrong, it was really awesome. It's just not too many things struck me as really photo-worthy. I really liked this relief on one of the walls, though, even if I didn't know what it represented.
After a tour of the buildings and lunch, we got a tour along the bay. It was either with boots or barefoot if you didn't have boots. I didn't have boots. It was cold. At the same time, it was awesome to feel the mud between my toes. Right at the end of the tour it started raining and hailing, so we all headed back, most of us with the right side of our pant legs completely soaked. Anyways, here's a picture of the abbey from the bay.
Yesterday we did a trip to the St Chapelle for my history of parisian art class. It's an incredible church and we had to wait about 45 minutes to get in. Here's a picture.
After that we went back to the classroom and took a quiz which I'm pretty sure I failed. I also was in the middle of swearing loudly when the professor walked out of the building to find us outside on the sidewalk. Not good. Tomorrow I have to write the intro, conclusion and an outline of a paper in my Arabic Literature class. The prof's going to give us a short text from each of the two books we've been reading and we have to figure out a thesis and set up the paper. Crap.
