St. Malo et Mt. St. Michel

So Im still confused about my classes and the works but!

Saturday we went to Mt St Michel, a castle along the English Channel, it's pretty cool, and old castle which was lots of fun. You might think that all I do around here is see castles, but I assure you that is not true! The down side was that Saturday morning I had to wake up around 7am to be able to catch the bus for the center since Saturday they dont run very often. I ended up catching a different bus and was lost in the city at 730 in the morning when it is still pitch black. Eventually I arrived a bit late and wet to the bus.

Anyways Mt St Michel was windy and stormy and it seemed to fit its general vibe. We ate lunch there, some of us thought to bring lunch because all they do is take advantage of tourists and charge you like 6euros for a small sandwhich, but alas.

We then proceeded to the lovely village of St Malo; where I was super hyper because IT WAS SUNNY and I havent seen the sun for extended periods of time in quite some time. Plus it was a cute little town right on the shore where we spent a good amount of time taking jumping pics on the beach and alyssa and I in our bright green and bright pink sticking out a mile away.
Generally a good day

Sunday on the other hand--I dont quite enjoy how everything shuts down on Sunday and the bus only comes once an hour so I missed the one right after mass and had to walk 30 mins in the rain to the next stop only to miss that bus and continue walking, shoes and socks wet; I was not a happy camper: Mais cest la vie:


Now Im at the university --word on the street-major greve (strike) thurs-but I suppose it wouldnt be a french experience without one- that just leaves us all a little stranded without our faithful buses and trams, perhaps no university classes, no mail-they take their strikes quite seriously!

Well I should be heading to class now but Ill keep you all updated on the strike and life:
