FIELD NOTE 6.39 - Mont Saint Michel.

The next day's activities began with a tour of Mont Saint Michel after finishing the complimentary breakfast offered by the hotel. Never one to pass on free coffee, I readily took part in it but it was a decision I ultimately regretted on Mont Saint Michel when I was forced to search out the bathrooms after an impossibly long tour of the church.
Oh it was beautiful there, all those old stones and rooms with picturesque views of sheep grazing on salted grass. Like Rennes, I wondered if I could find a little niche somewhere behind or above a tourist shop to make a life but ultimately decided against it since life behind the walls of Mont Saint Michel would ultimately become viewed as constraining rather than cozy.
So I walked back to the bus without a backwards glance and waited for the next part of the trip.
