Time for a little picture post from the festival here in Saint Malo. Enjoy! Took a stroll along the city wall this morning. Wind almost blew me off the cliff. Saint Malo is a beautiful medieval city.

On the move: QUAI DES BULLES
Things are starting out good here in Bretagne. First, there was the announced train strike. How is that good? Well, it was on Thursday. I flew in Friday.
