Rennes/Bretagne

Rennes/Bretagne was the next stop along the way, which in fact is out of the way but I thanks to a little improvisation was able to catch a ride at the last minute with my cousin. If you like cloudy skies and wind you'll like Bretagne. Super cool area though, it's the home of crepes and galette so you know it's gotta be half way decent. Was able to visit some super cool towns like Dinan and Dinard. We passed by the smallest town in France in fact along the way, didn't see any lepers though. Went to St. Malo, home to Jacques Cartier, infamous pirates, and my grandmama. Caught up on reading some Asterix comics in the process. Got a little taste of the sea with some raw oysters and bulots (the escargots of the sea). Got to relive the life of a 13th century monk for about an hour at the Mount Saint Michel. Experienced a bit of the night life in Rennes. It's difficult to sum up, but overall food+family+old stuff+food = awesome.
