Fecamp & Etretat

Well I was told last night that I've been slacking a little on the posts. Which I am. But it's been so busy lately!  Yesterday CEA had an "excursion" planned for us. I really like this program! All the group events (there are six or seven trips and then weekly events at the Paris center) were included in tuition, so yesterday I just had to wake up (before 6 am! ah!) and show up at the train station. The first excursion was a "mystery tour" so we had no idea where we were headed until we were already en route!  We ended up going to the Normandy region to two towns: 1) Fecamp, a small harbor town known for their early fishermen and 2) Etretat, another seaside town with beautiful cliffs

We had all day to split between the two and each got $20 for lunch (great seafood, wasted on me entirely), crepes (tried an apple puree type one yesterday. I will never be disappointed!), and cidre (which the region is known for). 

I uploaded all the pictures onto facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2034635&id=1326810108&l=d881790bcf )
But here are a few highlights:
