The Emerald City Awaits

So far most of the trip was catered toward my interest in WWII military history. Back in the days when Gail and I worked for the airlines one of our offices featured a big picture of an odd castle built on a plump little island in the middle of the sea. We learned it was Mont St. Michel. When we started traveling to Europe together we always said one day we would make a trip to see this wacky looking place in person. It took us almost 35 years to make it. Coming around a wide bend around a mountain on the super highway Mont St Michel suddenly appeared off in the distance. As quickly as we caught a glimpse, it disappeared. We had to drive another 15 minutes until we caught another look.
