We spent Easter Sunday and Monday in Brittany with Greg's grandparents. Greg took some photos of the beach while we were there.
We went to Mont-Saint-Michel on the Sunday before Easter. (I know its pretty cool that not only did someone name a small island Mountain after me but they think I'm a saint too.)
Le Mont-Saint-Michel, rocky, cone-shaped islet in northwestern France, in the Gulf of Saint-Malo, connected by a causeway with the mainland. The islet, celebrated for its Benedictine abbey, has small houses and shops on its lowest level. Above these stand the monastic buildings, many of which date from the 13th century and are considered outstanding examples of Gothic architecture. The entire islet is crowned by the abbey church, about 73 m (about 240 ft) above sea level.
Of course, it rained (actually poured) the entire time we were there. Its really much lovelier and more picturesque than it appears in our pictures.
Paris has streetside flea markets that move the city. I think they're just on the weekends, but I am really not sure. We went to one 2 streets over from where we live last weekend and bought a dresser. This picture is for Brooke who wanted to see what our new dresser looks like. Sorry, I didn't think to bring the camera to show you what the flea market looked like.

Finally! The last few photos from Thailand.
Our last week in Thailand was spent on the island of Koh Chang. We hiked, snorkled, kayaked, sat on the beach, relaxed. . . Our hotel was nice, but the best part is they decorated our room with flowers and gave us a birthday cake for our honeymoon!
More of Bangkok. . .
Bangkok was really interesting. Modern, busy, ancient, hectic, hot, different.
More of Thailand. . .
More elephants in Thailand.

Here are our first few photos from Thailand. We spent three days in Chiang Mai. As it was our honeymoon, the hotel had arranged flowers in the shape of a heart on our bed for when we arrived. We took an all day Thai cooking class the first day, a trek into the forest on elephants and with bamboo rafts the second day, and wandered around the city on the third.
