After Paris, we set out for San Malo. We made a pit stop at Cheatau, a church. In all honesty was kind of boring and I was not dressed appropriately for the windy weather, but I the town was cute and the bathrooms were free!
San Malo was gorgeous despite the overcast skies and our room, although not equipped with wifi like our hotel in Paris, was more spacious. It’s pretty funny that before we asked about food or how close we were to the beach all 17 of us inquired about the wifi situations of all of our hotels.

A group of us walked along the beach and I was kind of overwhelmed with how beautiful it all was.

Later that day we toured St. Michel which is located in Normandy. No joke, it looks like something straight out of Harry Potter. The monastery looks like a spooky castle floating in mid air, but in reality it’s set on a rocky tidal island. It was about a half an hour trek up to the front doors, but the view from the top made it absolutely worth it!
Over the next couple days we made our way to Arromanches, but only after stopping at Omaha beach and the American Cemetery, all of which were very special. It was kind of hard for me to believe, as I looked around at all of these scenic places, that a war had occurred on the very ground I was walking on. It was kind of cool, but very eerie all at the same time. ( I wish i could show you guys pics, but my camera seems to have eaten those ahh)
Whew! I think I covered all the major parts, and I hope I didn’t forget anything to important.
This past week I had my 5 hour a day, intensive Dutch course! I took my midterm on Monday and celebrated with a trip to Brugge, which ill recap in nexts weeks post.
Tot Ziens,
Shayne
