Rennes — Le Mont Saint Michel

September 10-11 we went to Rennes and from there we went to Le Mont Saint Michel!

Some photos are by Iya.

Here come the crazy Asians.

I didn’t really know much about Mont Saint Michel.

Nagpakita raw si Archangel Michael sa isang pari dito. Ordering him to build a church on the island. E tong si Koya hindi nakinig, a hole was burned through his skull! O diba interesting.

It was a stronghold turned abbey turned prison and now a tourist spot.

The whole place looked MAGICAL. As in woah! It looks like it jumped out of a story book.

I took this from inside the bus.

Pag pasok pa lang ang dami nang mga colorful souvenirs!

Parang Diagon Alley!

 In fairness ang laki rin niya sa loob. At walang katapusang lakaran ang naganap. PURO HAGDAN PA. Jeeez.

May Chapel rin and there were pretty little candles inside.

BLUE AND WHITE PARA SA 4-PEAT NG ATENEO!

ECHOWZ.

The best part of visiting churches for me is seeing the different and intricate stained glass windows. Sobrang ganda talaga.

At pag-labas, may sementeryo. O diba, CHEERY MOOD!

Then we continued to go up and traversed the never-ending steps of Le Mont Saint Michel!

There was this random lady who offered to take our picture. Syempre kami, GO lang ng GO!

See how far up we were! Ewan ko nga kung dagat yung nasa baba e. Pero yung mga ant-like dots sa picture, mga totoong tao yan sa totoong buhay.

Entering the Abbey itself. May nakita kaming kuya na nakahiga. Planking?

To continue the tradition of Knighthood.

Imagine, people really lived here before! Wow.

Dito ko naiimagine na naghahabulan yung mga madre sa gabi. Hehe. KIDDING!

Medj minadali namin yung tour kasi baka maiwan kami nung bus. Pero sulit naman. Busog mata ko and my wanderlust. satisfied!

We went to Rennes after and stayed sa place nung JTA people there!

THANK YOU CHAM, MACKY AND FEL!

They took us around nung Sundy. But in true French fashion, everything was closed.

Basilica of Our Lady of the Gospel.

For people who don’t really give much importance to religion, they sure have a lot of beautiful churches.

Lovely stained-glass windows.

Then we went to Parc du Thabor.

Alice in Wonderland naman ang drama dito.

May cutie pie na nagbebenta ng Ice Cream. 12 lang daw siya and he works on weekends daw. Legal pala to dito. Choz.

Muntik na siya kidnap-in ni Dianne.

May nakita kaming grass part na maraming nakaupo. Syempre nakigaya rin kami.

Parang day-off lang sa Luneta.

AWESOME WEEKEND, INDEED!

Looking forward to more of this!
