Bayeux

So, Mont-Saint-Michel was visually stunning, and a man at my hostel in Pontorson had recommended taking the audio-guide, which I did, and it was very informative. Made the visit to the abbey more interesting then just looking at the stuff, especially since the brochure for it was so uninformative.
I did decide today not to try for Juno Beach since it was looking very difficult to do and I didn't really have the energy for it. So I stayed here in town and went to see the tapestry and the cathedral here. And now, I'm going to go read in a park. Last night, I got in pretty early and so I ended up watching Indiana Jones: the Temple of Doom in French because it was there at the hostel and no one was using the television. Basically, it was getting dark and cold outside, but it was too early to go to bed. People ended up stopping and watching parts of it with me, so that was cool. Trying to get the tv to work was another issue as there was a major power button on the side that made the rest of it work. Never would have figured it out if one of the young guys who worked there hadn't stumbled across me trying to figure out the controller so I had some good luck there.
Tomorrow I head to Ireland and I arrive on the morning of the 11th. Basically, all the accomodations in Waterford, where I had originally thought to stay, are super expensive so I think I might head straight to Cork and stay there for a few nights instead. We'll see. For those of you checking, I won't be online for a few days since I'll be on a train, ferry, or bus for pretty much two days.
Okay, I'm off to find something to do!
Aurevoir!
