Ola Espania!

Good evening everyone.

Had another great day weather and people couldnt be nicer. 

Stopped in Biarritz (note to Joan its pronounced bee air itz NOT bar mitzvah)!  Anyway what a beautiful place its right on the bay of Britany, surfers were out.  Peter, Deb and I took off our shoes and went in the Atlantic for a while. We stayed in the shallow part as there was some surf out there with at least 10' waves.  Had lunch at a great little restaurant and had the lunch special, poisson (fish) that was loaded with garlic and safron rice.  Very scenic would be a great place to spend a few days. Topless beaches hubba hubba.






Then we crossed over into Spain, quite twisty roads going through the mountain passes reminded me of the Fraser Canyon in BC in some places also a lot like the interior.  Then into the plains and stopped for the day in Borgus.

This is the home of El Cid and the Castille that was started to be built in the 11th century and took about 400 years to complete.  I guess our timeline isn't too out of whack huh Scott? :)

Now to the gyspy story, when we were at the Eiffel tower Peter was approached by a couple of gypsy girls, however when he waved them off one of them pointed her finger at him and hissed!  I laughed and told him that she put the whammy on him.

Well tonight when we got off the bus Deb hit her head on the overhead door getting her bag out.  Then one of the ladies walking down the stairs slipped and fell spilling red wine on Debs white pants and top.  Then the waiter serving Deb hit his tray on the wall behind Debbie and jammed his elbow. 

I said the gypsy had shitty aim as all three things happened around Deb.   I also informed everyone to stay clear of her in case she got hit with a lightning bolt! Oh well everything happens in three's lets hope that is the last of that. 

We are off to Madrid tomorrow and will be spending two nights there I believe that is where we are going to the Prada museum, (NO girls thats not where you buy purses and shoes at).

Anyway until tomorrow.

Buenos Noches
