Marisa's trip to Paris

A beautiful weekend in Brittany

This past weekend was spent with my group in the seaside town of St. Malo in the Province of Brittany. It was goregous. We were told it is not normally that pretty there. So we were lucky.

While there the group went and visited one of the seven wonders of the world, Mount St. Michel. It is a town literally, built on top of an island. You cant see the top of the mountian like island because there is an ancient Church that had been constructed on top and around it. The village takes up the rest of the island. Then, before France altered it, the water of the island would lower with the tide and leave it accesible by foot, on marshy grounds.


Modern technology has made it so they were able to block and drain the water in the surrounding area. They then built a road connecting the land to the island. Announced recently was to retsore this wonder to its naturel glory and make it an island again. The project is about to begin and will take around 20 years to complete. Crazy. People really need to make up their minds.

Now I haved return to Paris. Not as beautiful as Brittany. Right now everyone is gearing up for Bastille Day on the 14th. We have been told it is going to be one heck of a party. Let's see how it compares to Rome on New Years Eve....
