St. Jean du Luz

(Thursday, 3 September) St. Jean du Luz. The day after that train ride, Michelle woke up feeling very tired. After breakfast at the hotel (yummy bread and croissants!), Michelle took the morning and early afternoon to rest and read (she read an entire book in one day!) while Kenny went for a ride in the in the rain. After that, it was into St. Jean du Luz to see the Atlantic. We walked along the boardwalk, browsed shops, had some gelato, stopped at a cafe for cafe au lait, stopped a sandwich shop for quiche...then down to the ocean to play in the water. We had to wait until 7:30 for dinner (that is when the restaurants open). We picked one on the boardwalk and unfortunately, the meal was a big letdown. On a different note, Kenny is now in charge of communicating since he knows a bit of French. Michelle is now mixing Spanish and French, creating her own language such as soui - a mixture of 'si' and 'oui.' It has been interesting speaking (well, trying to) one language one day and then switching to another the next. After dinner, it was back to the hotel for the evening.
