Mike: My last day on tour was a 14 hour day out of Paris
to Mt. St Michel. I toured the famous
Abbey with its coilster of monks. The abbey and the town were a famous
pilgrimage center in the Middle Ages.
In the Middle Ages, everyone was expected to make a pilgrimage and Mt.
St. Michel was one of the accepted places you could pilgrimage. When you walk
around the village the setting takes you back to the Middle Ages with its steep
narrow streets and gothic stone buildings.
Ann: I got to sleep in this morning. I enjoyed breakfast and the rest of the day
with a mom and her daughter from Canada. They had been with us since the tour started in Amsterdam. We headed out on the Metro
and then walked, saw the sights, and ate a bit of lunch in the park. We found the tour at 1:30pm and took off for
Versailles. We visited the gardens
first. There is mostly greenery, no
flowers...the gardens are immense as is everything else. Then we had a visit to the palace, wow, such
beauty but also so much over indulgence.
I really enjoyed the day: great
company, gorgeous sights and my feet were surviving.
Finally, we want to make an observation about our time
spent in Paris. The French people were
very nice and welcoming throughout our time in France. They communicated by
their words and actions that they were happy we were in their country. Bottom line is that we had a great time in
France and we really liked the people.
Tomorrow we fly back to Cincinnati (through Toronto) to
end our adventure. It's been fun.
This will conclude my blog. I hope you enjoyed reading about our adventure.
