The Pyrenees
... ratatouille hybrid. We got about halfway through when Meg decided that her lunch contained raw beef ("steak tartare"). It quickly found the garbage and a safe baguette sandwich appeared in its place.
After our lunching adventure, we headed a few blocks in the other direction and found a very elegant shopping area that would rival any other. Indoor malls, outdoor malls, haute couture, it was all here. As were a very young and active population. ...

Rest Day on le Tour de Stopyra
... You know….we could have taken that earlier train and made the earlier connection in Paris without the 3 hour layover.” Yeah, you know how a statement like that will temp the fates.

Everyone with connecting tickets ...
