We have been travelling to some fabulous places, always moving westwards, so we could meet up with Alan and Cheryl before setting off on our own again to do more of France and then return here for Bob's party.
Our time together with them and Tony and Judy and a surprise addition of their friends Vivvy and John in Bilbao was great. Nice to hear English spoken, and some enjoyable times. We said goodbye to Tony and Judy in Bilbao and with Vivvy and John drove through to Lascazeres via Gernika and Pasaia up the French coast. Beautiful scenery as the countryside greened and became more mountainous.

Arriving here late in the day we paused briefly and sat down for a well deserved (aren't they all?) drink to take in the renovations made since we were last here eight years ago. WOW! What a magnificent place they have in the french country. Anne and I would love to have an extended stay here sometime!

We returned to another local fair, the Lascazarians in the middle of a three day, all night, party next door to where we are staying. The music went all night, and has started again this morning - mercifully Jazz and rock and roll rather than the oompah bands and disco dancing!
Yay! Four fabulous posts to wake up to! Al and Cheryl's house is very lovely. I think it's great that you can go to some places that aren't just filled with tourists.
