On the Railway of Time: Work it, pose and look at the camera!

Work it, pose and look at the camera!

These two days were marvelous! We had pure sun and not even a single drop of rain.

Yesterday we went to Mont St.Michel. The little streets of the place reminded me much of Hogsmeade and the abbey somehow made me think about Hogwarts, like in Harry Potter. It was just amazing! (except for the STAIR CLIMBING!!!)

Then, we went to St.Malo. It had a beautiful beach scenery; The waves, people flying kites, the sunset, the wind, it was just perfect. After taking photos of the beach, we went to a church, where Jacques Cartier (discoverer of Canada) is buried.

After our long and tiring day, we went to the hotel. We had dinner and went to sleep immediately.

This morning, we went to Utah beach. Near this beach there is a small territory that belongs to the Americans, where they have a cementery for those who died in the D-Day invasion of Normandy.

Then, we visited the Tapisserie of Bayeux. There they have a 70 meters long embroidery made in the 11th century, that tells the story of the conquest of England by William, the Duke of Normandy.

Later on, we went to another beach called Le Desembarquement, where we took hundreds of pictures posing and acting like top models. We sure had a blast!
