On Wednesday, the Rugby Cats made the climb up to the Abbey of Mont Saint Michel. It was a great experience for the team to see stunning views, a gorgeous city, and a beautiful church at the top.

While I got to see and enjoy the same sights as the rest of the team, my experience was a bit different.

Because of a broken leg I had suffered in our second game against Lycée Albert Sorel, I found that making it up the many, many stairs to the top of the island was quite difficult.

But with my coaches, teammates, and some great friends like Sean Soder, Aidan Gill, Juan Penn, and Joe Molnar I made it up the stairs (mostly by piggyback).

But I think more important than seeing the sights was a time to bond with the team off the field in a truly beautiful place.
