Yikes it’s Friday the 13. With our luck we shouldn’t go out—But we ventured to Mont Saint- Michelle. One of the most revered spots in the world for centuries. We found Apple Maps worked far better than the Garmin GPS so no pics along the way. The Abby was amazing considering the initial sanctuary was built in 705 and the remaining Abbey in the 12th century. The curved brick arches were especially interesting to Randy to see up close how they were made. The 2-course lunch of mussels and dessert was divine.

I love the repeating arches |

Beautiful and amazing architecture |

It’s hard to believe this was built in the 12th century |

Done in Baroque Gothic style |

Another great dessert. |

Lots of wonderful Mussels |
