Residence La Croisiere Anglet

Tom and Sue took the day to zip to Bilbao (1:45 south of Biarritz) to see the famous Guggenhiem Museum. Wow, what a building!! The exhibits pale in comparison, but still we enjoyed a solid 4 hours at the museum. Afterwards, we drove back to San Sebastian where Sue introduced me to Alona Berri, the ...

We drove through deep river valleys, carved by fast flowing rivers and flanked by a quilt of every imaginable green as the fields and trees dressed in their spring best. Where possible we took the country roads and admired the warm sandstone ...

... in San Sebastian but with great difficulty so we had calamari instead for a lot of money. Its very difficult to communicate in Spanish we just say "sorry we are from America".
