Day 5- Le Mont St Michael

Today we hopped back into the charter bus and went to Le Mont St. Michael in Normandy. Did you know that in the film "Lord of the Rings: The King Returns" the set-up of the city was based on Mont St. Michael? We thought that was so cool! It's a very magical place, we felt like we were in the medieval times. When you are climbing up the grand staircase, branching from the middle is a church with a painting of St. Michael fighting a dragon. I made a special connection when I found out Benedictine Monks run Le Mont St. Michael. My family is Catholic too! Le Mont St. Michael is an island when the tide is down. We had fun walking along the beach and running in and out of the waves.
