After lunch on Sunday, we had time to do one activity in Normandy before dinner, so we decided to go to the Airborne museum which was a tribute to the paratroopers that landed on D-Day. This was a very engaging museum that was technologically advanced as well. Each visitor received Continue Reading
Day 6/7- Mont St Michel
The Mont St. Michel Monastary/Castle is truly amazing! We began our pilgrimage Saturday morning when we traveled from Lorient to Mont St. Michel in the 9 person van. We stopped on the way at Buffalo Grill, which is the French take on the wild west culture. As you approach Continue Reading
Day 5- Ile de Groix and Interceltique Festival
It was a beautiful morning in Lorient and the lack of bugs made sleeping with the windows wide open, without even having screens, excellent sleeping weather.

We are off!
We left MN on time and got into Newark NJ on time. Charles slept the entire time we were in the air. He literally saw taxiing in MSP and EWR, but was sleeping the rest of the time. After a hike through the airport and a quick bite to eat, Continue Reading
