Joyeux Noël!

Alright, everyone. I know it's been ages since I updated...in fact, it's been so long that I can only hope anyone still checks this thing... Anyway, plenty's been going on, it's just that I haven't been inspired to recount it all. Even now I'm feeling pretty lazy, so I'm going to post some pictures, and hope that that will do for now. Deal? Deal. Oh, and I have pictures from the actual Christmas Eve dinner (the big celebration here), but I can't find my camera cable at the moment. So, get ready to see everything just up to Christmas!

In November, our organization took us on a trip to Normandy, a region in France known for it's fromage (Camembert), apples and apple products, and the monastery/abbey of Mont St. Michel. This place is built on a big rock in the middle of a terribly marshy area--at low tide, it looks like this from the abbey--during high tide the water rushes in ridiculously fast and makes the place an island. It's one of the 8 wonders of the modern world, I hear.

A few of us at the foot of Mont St. Michel, in a parkinglot that will be flooded come high tide. Matt in the back, me, Yasmin, and Courtney. It was really windy, hence the clutching of scarves and blowing of hair.

And this is what we were facing when the other picture was taken. Marshy, eh? Oh, and kinda pretty, I think.

Ok, my computer is officially refusing to upload more pictures. For now, look at these, and be on the lookout for more!
