Well, it is Thursday already but I can't not talk about last weekend. It was great! We rented a car and did three different day trips. Three, you ask? Well, yes, Monday was a holdiay (Pentecost) so we had a three day weekend.
On Saturday, we went to La Rhune which is an overlook in the Pyranees on the border with Spain. We took a little wooden train up to the top of the mountain and could see to the coast and all around. It was beautiful. Hilda wasn't really impressed with the train or the view but there were some goats and sheep roaming around at the top and that was enough for her to think that it was pretty cool!
This photo is Hilda and Vinicio looking at Spain.
After taking the train back down (and seeing free range little horses) we went to Saint-Jean de Luz, a little Basque beach town which is very close to the Spanish border as well. The water was very cold, but we had a good time anyway. Our host family was nice enough to lend us a big umbrella which helped because it was really hot and sunny. Hilda loved running around in the sand and digging, of course.
Isn't it awesome?! Did you wander around to the back? Were there lots of mules/horses that you could pet? Sounds great!
