Rainy Day In Saint-Malo


Today I was supposed to go to Mont St. Michel. However after meeting some very nice Canadians at at restaurant last night and having a parting calvados and hearing that Mont St Michel has more steps than they have ever seen I went home to sleep. I woke up at 3:00AM violently ill. I am not sure if it was the food, the calvados or the thought of more steps than ever that made me sick. I was up for hours and finally went to sleep. My wake up call came at 7:00AM but I made the decision that going to Mont St. Michel, though interesting, would not change my life one way or the other and I slept until 10:45.
Yesterday was beautiful and I ended my afternoon by going to the beach. I walked a little in low tide and went back to my charming little hotel. Today is not nice. It is raining. I forgot to bring my raincoat and I must buy one since it is supposed to rain in Paris over the weekend.
Prices seem high at the restaurants but when you take into consideration the tax and tip are included it is really not that high. Unfortunately here since this is a tourist town with many foreigners besides the French of which there are many, some of the restaurants do not have high standards. I do expect to go to a one star tonight. That may improve the quality.
Just returned to my hotel to find that the one star is complet. So much for that restaurant.
I will never go hungry.
