Feb 29, 2008 - Normandy/Saint-Malo

We set out several hours away to the small fishing town of Saint-Malo, located on the English Channel. ... We dropped of our luggage at the hotel, which was literally right on the beach and proceeded to have a walking tour with a native of Saint-Malo, called a Malouin. ... As we walked down the beach we were informed that the entire road we had our hotel on was closed during the summer equinox due to ferocious waves that pound it and that the spot we were standing on was under 42 feet of water during high tide! Saint-Malo has the second most dramatic tidal changes in the world (first is in Canada). ... We then strolled the streets of the medieval city and were told some other interesting things about the town; one being that up until a couple hundred years ago a bell would ring at 10pm and everyone outside the city walls had 5 minutes to get inside, otherwise they released starving pitbulls who would attack and eat anyone on the street! Yikes! Saint-Malo is famous for its seafood, and I went to dinner with Stacey, Paulino, and Jack. ...

Sep 30, 2006 - St Malo & Dinard

Again the weather wasn't playing our game - it was a grey, damp, very windy day! And of course we were now on the coast visiting small towns that have the seaside as the attraction! Dinard is a favourite holiday place of the Brits - therefore Phil didn't like it! It was ok, but nothing to do for us so we moved on to St Malo.Again the weather wasn't playing our game - it was a grey, damp, very windy day!

Do you know who first started using butter?? I haven't had time to research, but I've decided over the last few days that the answer to this burning question must be the French.Do you know who first started using butter??
