I appologize for not getting back to you in the last two days, but that was because we took a weekend trip with INT to Northern France. We visited Cancale, Saint Malo, Mont Saint Michelle, and Normandie. The weekend began in Cancale, which is directly on the coast which was really beautiful. It has been so long since we have seen the ocean and surprisingly the water looked really nice. The main food that it serve is seafood because of the town being located on the coast and the specialty was oysters. I am not a huge fan of seafood so it was a little difficult. While we were in Cancale the INT staff arranged a visit to an oyster farm, which wasnt that interesteing. We had the opportunity to try oysters, which I dont like so i stayed out of that. I dont even like the smell of seafood so I pretty much hung out by myself during that trip. After finishing at the oyster farm we drove to another town that is surrounded by a brick wall, called Saint Malo. The town was really beautiful from the outside, and there were beaches all around, but there was a lot of commercial shops on the inside, which took away from it being a historical site. We walked around for 2 hours going into the souvenier shops and checking all the stuff out. Our tummies were grumbling for some food so we decided to feed them at this cafe because the deserts looked so delicious. I decided to get coffee, and the waitress decided to screw us over by giving us the wrong thing and charging us for it. We were pretty upset with her and couldnt explain to her what the problem was because she was playing stupid that she didnt speak english when she spoke english to us when we ordered. We gave up because we were late for the bus. After our visit to Saint Malo we headed to our youth hostel to retreat for the night, well at least we thought we would get some good rest.
At the youth hostel we were divided up into all the rooms available and unpacked and relaxed for a few before heading down to dinner. As always we had hopes and dreams of a good dinner, but that was soon spoiled when we sat down to eat. There was this salad type thing with boiled eggs, shredded vegetable, and some sort of sauce. For the main course we had strange pizza, and desert was cheese and unflavored yogurt with sugar in it (yuck). It wasnt really that bad, but it wasnt very good. The hostel staff threw a party for us which was rather lame i must say because it started at like 8pm and it was still bright and shining outside. Myself, Tasha, and Mariah decided we should go to sleep early, but that was an impossible task because the "night club" was directly below our rooms and the music and the bass was up super high so everything was vibrating including my brain. Somehow we managed to fall asleep.
