The Road to Rouen

We are in Rouen. We got here yesterday and we're staying at a budget hotel but it is right in the centre the city. Yesterday was spent in driving and exploration. We were going to stop in a little town but we all thought it would be too much of a hassle to get everything in and back out again so we just drove straight. When we got here, we basically just looked around the city and went to mass because nobody wanted to get up early today. Later, we had dinner out and it started to rain. Luckily we sat at a table with an umbrella and managed to get back without getting soaked. On to today, we started our adventure with the Musée des Beaux Arts, where our primary focus was an impressionist exhibit with several Monets displayed. We had audio guides for the museum which were very helpful. Next, we went to the tourist information office to get audio guides for a self directed  walking tour of old Rouen. We saw the cathedral and two other churches. There seems to be churches everywhere here. Ever since I got here, I have wondered where the other denominational churches are because all I've seen are Roman Catholic?  After the walking tour, we went back to the hotel and sat around for a bit. Now we just came back from a pizza dinner out. I can't believe we'll be home in 2 days! I'll see most of you as soon as I can. Peace everyone!
