Mont St Michel

After more than a day in transit, we have arrived at Mont St Michel on
the Normandy coast of France. My Watercolor Sketchbook Tour of France
begins here and we'll spend the next few days exploring the area and
making liquid notes about it.

This is the view from our room at the Hotel Relais St Michel! Even if
we never ventured out we could paint this panoramic landscape for
days. Tomorrow morning we'll paint from this distance and then hike up
to the Mont for a closer perspective.

It's chilly and overcast, but visibility is good. My group of nine can
hardly contain their excitement, despite how tired we are from the
long journey.
