I went to Biarritz France with Ben and Ben with the intent of surfing and taking French lessons. Our Air B&B apartment was much smaller than it seemed in the photos. Advertised as a good size for four people, we would put it at maximum two people. The hand made loft was not large enough to stand up in. Even I had to crawl around. Despite the small apartment, we were ready to settle in. On the second day, we decided to move out...I came home from a run and found a local crackhead in sitting on the couch, eating our food and wearing our clothes. I immediately summoned Ben and Ben to get back quickly, while the crackhead dead bolted herself IN our apartment. After a long ordeal and some help from the neighbors, we were able to get the police out there and she was transported away. We took this as a sign to move out to Ondres and rent our French teacher's apartment. French lessons and surfing were a success...as was the consumption of French wine and food.

Below are some photos from the beach in Ondres. We enjoyed some wine and the sunset on a relaxing summer evening. Breathtaking.
We took a day trip to San Sebastien in the Basque Country in Spain where we enjoyed ample tapas and views of the Atlantic
Our last night in France, we had a lovely dinner on the patio of our apartment which shared the terrace of our French teacher. The night before, we had enjoyed an authentic regional French dinner with our French teacher and his family. There was plenty of wine and food for all!
