The House of Stone and Light

After seeing the big guns this morning, instead of sticking with our agenda, we headed to Mont St Michele...



I'm so glad we did.  In fact, I would say it is my favorite thing we have done so far on the trip!







Although, like all beautiful places, the path up to the abbey is cluttered with overpriced restaurants and tshotchke shops, the main attraction itself felt quite peaceful, especially this one sanctuary that we only caught on our way down.  There was nice choral music playing and it made me think that I wanted to take Lilah to hear some live holiday church music while we are here. 


Yesterday after the museum, we went to the Military Cemetery which was also very peaceful and exceptionally well created.  They have a tradition of letting visitors participate in the raising and lowering of the flag each day.


Tomorrow, I think we end the road trip and hightail back to home base to get our bearings and plan the next phase.   We are considering going up to Chamonix.  So excited!

Prego Update:  A lot of pain last we heard but on the mend.  No update for today yet as we missed the vets call :-(

Oh and lest you think we forgot, Bad Songs of the Day:

Turn this Club Around


Champagne Showers (LMFAO who I sometimes like)
