Today, our class took a 45 minute bus ride to Saint Malo, a fortified coastal city surrounded by thick walls and filled with beautiful buildings from hundreds of years ago. We walked to Saint Malo's castle (which is now a museum) and viewed a lot of old furniture and Saint Malo-inspired paintings. We learned a little more about the slave trade back then and got to see how things were done a long time ago. Most of the things shown in the museum supported the fact that Saint Malo was completely dependent on the sea. We climbed narrow stairwells all the way to the top of the castle. The view was breathtaking and we got some great pictures. Then we climbed back down and took a stroll to the beach where we sat and ate on the rocks. After we finished our meals, we kicked off our shoes and ran along the beach - my personal favorite part of the trip so far. The weather was just perfect. After that, we left the beach and did some shopping at a few little shops in one area. Everyone bought a treat from a bakery near one of the gift shops we went to. We were all stuffed and happy. After all of our shopping, we walked back through all of the narrow streets with lights strung along them to get back outside of the walls where our bus was waiting for us. We returned to College Saint Michel knowing we wouldn't forget the day we spent in Saint Malo. (Julia)
