Mont St. Michelle.... and food

Yesterday after breakfast we went to Mont St. Michal. It is an old abbey and a small town on on a hill/mountian that is somtimes an island and somtimes not. Real monks and nuns actually live there and we got to sit on an service, it was not pretend. We had for lunch what the french call "Sandwich American" haha. They had tomatoes, boiled egg, ham, and butter on bread that was very french. :).

We went to dinner at my distant cousin's restaurant. It was really really really good. I had steak with pepper sauce and potaotes. The potatoes were all fancy and delicious. Mom had scallops wrapped up in a crepe. Dad had veal. My favorite part of it was the dessert. I had apples like in pie inside of a crepe with homemade caramel and whipped cream. It was sooo good. :)

Today we drove to myGreat Aunt Lulu's house in Nante. She and her husband were very nice. We had a lot of fun with them. We had "Lunch" with them but it was hardly lunch. We arrived there at around 1. Lunch took three hours ( of just eating) and we stayed untl 7:30.
1st course- peanuts, cashews, chips, tomatoes. 2nd course- laongustene (really big shrimp.) 3rd course- fresh green beans, fresh prime rib (best I've ever had), salad, pesto sauce, french bread with butter homemade from the farm. 4th course- tiramesu. 5th course- cherries, necterines, coffee, tea.
It was so so good.

When we got back to Redon we had a light dinner of ham, canteloupe, bread with cheese, and icecream. We are really tired and are going to go to bed. J'aime bien Francais....
