After all those consecutive weeks of dancing back in California, I am sad to say that I've only danced here twice. TWICE. Oy, pathetic! I've almost forgotten how fun dancing was too! Fortunately however there was a tango demonstration and an intro to tango class in Amiens while on vacation. And so I danced again! Not as good as these two, but dang, eventually I'll get there...
Along with dancing, my wonderful and relaxed Winter Break (not to be confused with my Christmas Break) included lots of beach time. In northern France, the water will never be warm enough to swim in, however, just being able to see something bigger than a river made my day.
On commence avec Granville... just a nice coastal village which turns out to have held one of the biggest Carnivale festivals of France.
Ah such a lovely sight the sea makes!
german bunkers along the cliffside
and of course, a beautiful sunset
and bulots or sea snails :)
Mont St. Michelit was built on a rock in the middle of the bay, but as the abbey and the village grew bigger and bigger it started expanding around the rock, ultimately incorporating the rock into the structure
i was so happy when the sun showed up to join us at the second most visited place in france
the abbey in its full glory
Normandy
the history
the beach
and the fallen
Caenle chateau de caen
