le Mont St-Michel
France

July 13, 2002


le Mont St-Michel is a monastery on a sort of island. During high tide you can't get to the monastery, but low tide you can walk to it.


Here is low tide. You can see some people in the distance. Signs everywhere said not to go out there because of the tide and quick sand. Guess some people thought it was worth the risk.

Here is some more of low tide.

Here is the actual monastery and the little city that surrounds it on its island.

You can see that it is low tide around the island.

After dinner, we came back to look at the sunset and the water coming back in. Oh at dinner 2 table over were some US cyclists from the Tour de France. Sorry, Lance wasn't with them. We did see the US Postal Team's bus though when we were looking for a hotel.

More of the sunset and the tide coming back in.

Here is our last shot as we were leaving Mt. St-Michel.
