Wales? Does anyone ever visit Wales?? And, who knew they were famous for their male choirs - Michelle did! So Milt, Peyton, Elaine, Jim, and Michelle were spot on with Wales while Joani and Mike were so close. . .
"Mont St. Michel"
From Paris there was an all-day excursion to see Mont St. Michel - the island community in Normandy. We booked it! Throughout the year there are forty-four full-time residents living in Mont St. Michel. In the course of a year some three million tourists will make the pilgrimage here - I think most of those three million were there the day we visited!
As you may guess, the structure was a strategic location since ancient times. Beginning in the 8th century, it was the seat of the Mont St. Michel monastery.
Not too long ago visitors took their chances with the tides as they walked from the mainland to the island. Today a bridge and a shuttle make the trek less stressful.
