You have no patience girl! Remember I don't have the internet. So I can't post every second of every day!
My weekend was amazing. Friday night I did nothing (well I watched Monty Python) Saturday morning I left for Mont Saint Michel. Let's just say that Tara almost kicked out of the Abby....OOOOOPPPPPSSSS. I said to my friend Karen: Hey look at the random ladder sticking out of the wall let's climb it and see what's up there. She said Ok. She climbed then I got scared (shut up Jaime I hate heights). Then a little anal retentive French rent a cop - historical monument security came up and starting yelling!
Number one he said that it was the second time he had to yell at Karen - so not true (he said that he caught her on top of the alter in the church - didn't happen!) Then started calling her an idiot etc.
I don't like it when people yell at my friends! Or when they falsely accuse my friends of something. So I start to argue with the anal retentive rent a cop - historical monument security guy - in English - which he understands very well.
I point out to the fact that there is no sign indicating that that it is not a continuation of the tour etc. And that if it's the fourth time he's had to yell at someone within the last hour that maybe a sign would be beneficial. -- All of a sudden like magic the anal retentive rent a cop historical monument security guy can't speak english? hmmm - so what does Tara do?
Tara starts screaming at the anal retentive, rent a cop, historical monument security guy in French!
Once he realized that there was no way in hell is was going to get anywhere with me, he walked away grumbling under his breath, while me and Karen were pissing ourselves laughing. Then the Anal retentive, rent a cop - historical monument security guy turns around so I give him a little smile and wave ------ WELL this made him a very angry little elf - he said "Come with me, let's go" of course I just said no, I hadn't done anything etc. Somehow I just argued and argued until he went away!
-After the abby we went down to the little church. Then we had absolutely nothing else to do for about 3 hours, out in the freezing cold - on a fortified rock in the middle of nowhere!
Next we go to Saint Malo - It was cool - but they only gave us 1 hour and 15 minutes! and there was tons to do. We ended up concentrating on the beach area.
Sunday morning I left on train to go to some x-mas shopping in Paris until tuesday morning.
I went to:
Invalides
Arc de Triomphe
Boat cruise on the Seine
Notre Dame
Pantheon
Eiffel Tower
and then shopping on the Champs d'elysse!
All in all a great weekend - and since I already have about a million pics of paris from when I went back in the day - I didn't need to do the whole touristy picture thing.
Anywho gotta go
Tara

Hi Tara,
This is Kates sister, Jess. I decided to look you up and see what a wonderful time you are having. Something I am envious of and will more than likely never get to do. Sounds like you've taken the best advantage of the situation too. Way to go, you are a long way from home. Here is to many more of your travels and experiences may they be both fun and safe. See you at Christmas, we would love to haveyou visit us at our new home in Angus over the holiday's. Safe journey home.
