Castle in the Sea

Hi!
Today we went to Mont-Saint-Michel. It’s very huge and really cool. How many stars hmm…. 4 ½!!!! Out of 5! As you walked in there was a loooooong street full of shops, restaurants, and hotels. You could take a tour that talked about the dungeons and a couple of other museums. Sadly all were in French except for the Maritime museum 250 ships help! We did not go to the maritime museum yay! We then climbed up lots and lots of stairs. We got into the abbey and walked into this room where there was a church. There was a cool balcony with a beautiful view. Then there was the room where the Nuns and Monks ate. They weren’t allowed to talk at all! Next we went to the cloisters where they pray. It was made to give the impression of ‘a floating garden’. There was supposed to be another chapter house leading off of it but it was never built. There is a giant wheel which they used to haul supplies to the cathedral. Mom was amazed that people actually walked in it to move it. Once we got out we saw a really narrow street that would be really hard for some people to get through!
Bye!
Emily
