Mont St Michel, eh, maybe that’s where we should go on the median of our 41st birthdays, remember that? (What’s the data again?)

Actually it makes me feel a bit dizzy.

If you go directly north from Rennes until you hit the sea, right there in
that U-shaped bit of coast is Mont St Michel, which is the french equivalent of St Michel’s mount in the UK (in fact, I think they’re opposite each other and are linked in mythology). Not sure how long it would take to get there, but worth a visit if it’s not too far - very atmospheric. I think it was featured in some famous 60s movie by Truffaut or one of those fellas.

Tereneh, Ive not been here long enough to know for sure but there is much more than Tala going on. In Tala there were bars but it just wasn’t a good idea for me to go them. I stayed at home by choice. So far I have been staying at home by choice here, in fact I have visited the supermarket every evening for something - and agian this morning for a lunch box and Soy Sauce — and just making myself content at home in this temporary place. It doesn’t even feel as small now as it did when I first arrived. But there will come a time when I venture out in the evenings and I’ll tell you about it here. But Rennes is less dangerous than Tala for a mzungu like me.

And yes I am impressed you are calling folks in French too. People get confused with me when I speak my American English.

Enjoy.

I’m VERY impressed that you’re phoning people in French! Used to take me all day to pluck up courage to do that, even doing a flipping A-level in it.

BTW the first google maps link is borked.
