Today’s post, written by Carissa Ferguson ’18, to recount the group’s first day in France,                        Sunday, March 5, 2017:

After 11-12 hours of extensive travel and lack of sleep, we finally reached the region of Normandy in northern France. Once there we stopped by Le Mont Saint Michel, one of France’s most recognizable landmarks to date due to its breathtaking Roman and Gothic architecture. To say it was a little windy would be an understatement. I honestly thought I was going to blow away. But despite that, I think we really enjoyed our visit. 

However, the best part of the day was when we stopped by this small sandwich shop to order lunch. It was my first time I’ve eaten in France and the food is just as good as they say, especially the bread. I’m excited to get the chance to come across more authentic French food, and to experience more of France overall.
