Europe 2011 Part 3

Here’s Part 3 (of 5) from our 2011 trip to Europe. Best watched full-screen on a big monitor, not on your phones, you silly people.

We start out in Paris, visiting the gardens of the Rodin Museum with Andreas, and the next day Len and I take a train to Saint-Malo in Bretagne, where we struggle with some rented bikes and then leave on a 4-day cycling trip — to Dinan, Combourg, Mont Saint-Michel, and — in part 4 — back to Saint-Malo (passing through a ton of smaller towns en route). Large chunks of the journey were alongside canals, and that’s pretty ideal. There were little stops for petits-cafés and cheese, of course.

Mont Saint-Michel was even more amazing than I had thought it would be. However, lots of tourist trinket shops around the lower part of the town, which I somehow neglected to video (gee!). The abbey and cloister at the top were incredible, although I don’t recall seeing any espresso vending machines at that particular cloister.
