Mt. St. Michel

We spent a pleasant morning at the French Mt. St. Michel,
pretty much deserted, at least until the Japanese tour busses
started arriving for lunch; we skipped the abbey, having seen
it a couple times before; a fine day, the views were great






"OK, then let's park here!" Actually, we spent the night too











Gate, portcullis...presumably, murder-holes,
too











Actually, the streets and shops reminded us
a bit of Namche Bazaar; a bit...











Tide's out






 
View from the abbey battlements (I thought you were
supposed to turn the other cheek...)

Looking toward toward the 14 euro abbey; no concession/
reduction for old age pensioners like us
