Hotel Roissy Lourdes

After breakfast, we drove through a marmot filled ski resort to start our 2 hour hike. We walked through the free range cattle to the top of a 7,000 foot hill with sweeping view of the Cirque du Gavarnie. The sun was out and we had a lovely time. It was cool to see the Breche du ...

... They don't have the same impact only because getting to the base is a longer walk. But they are big!! Apparently it is a popular ice climbing destination. Yikes!!<br><br>          <br>

... line, 150 KM by car. Back at our car around 2, we set off on a driving tour of one small section of the Spanish Pyrennees. Amazing! We were very glad to have done it. Once we got back to the French side we spent most of time driving along Tour de France roads. Amazing to ...

We got used to our new home in Saint Sauveur, the spa town 5 minutes from the main town of Luz Saint Sauveur and took the afternoon to explore the ...

On Sunday, we checked into new home, Hotel Chili, which is all self-contained apartments. The accommodation was simple but was made up for by the giant lawn with Mini-Golf course, free range chickens, and playground within walking distance. And FREE LAUNDRY!!! Needless to say, Sue was in heaven. We played Mini-golf that night and Sue kicked Tom's butt. Embarrassing...<br><br>        <br>

... over 10,000 ft. A lazy afternoon followed by another delightful meal and a good night's sleep. Ahh, the mountains.<br><br>                <br><br><br>

We spent a lazy day in and around our hotel, casually visiting Luz Saint Sauveur, about 10 minutes from our hotel. We also drove up to Gavarnie, the famous Cirque in the region. There weren't much in the ways of views as the mountains were in the clouds.<br> <br>  <br><br><br>

... into our hotel by 3. I drove back down to Lourdes to pick up Eva who had taken the train from Paris that morning. After a delightful dinner at our hotel in the tiny town of Viscos, which turns out to be the best restaurant in Luz Saint Sauveur, we snuggled into our beds for a good night sleep.<br><br>    <br>

... grotto we realized another mass was going on, so we walked along the water listening to the music, watching people light candles, and wait in line for the baths of holy water. Nurses rolled up numerous older people from the nearby and distant hospitals all wanting to bathe in the pools of miracle water. Personally, this was a touching sight to see. Such faith in a person and belief in this spring filled me with such wonder. I have been to ...

... different than we're used too and is made of 2 seperate parts. I would consider a western model as better quality, but I don't know if they would be happy to use it, or if it would fit their horses... No coverage for the horses back which is adapted to western like saddles (they looked at ours very suspiciously)... greets _______________________________________ ___________________________ Posted By: Haribo Sorry, I made a mistake.
