Friday’s log. Too big for skimming, contest will run Saturday. Lots of skimmers hanging around waiting for the afternoon to change, but still too big. Carly and I visited the Cathedral at Bayonne and felt closer to God. How anyone can build something so tall with stone is beyond belief. I guess that is what it is all about. Drove, if that is the correct term for wandering all over, to Biarritz. One of the most spectacular coastlines I have ever seen. Castles, churches and massive hotels build right to the oceans rocky edge. A harbor, more like a fort against the sea, holds fewer than 50 small boats for the local fisherman. The harbor walls are 40′ tall. Wandered, and I mean wandered, back up to Herve’s to rest up for the party tonight. Matthieu’s brother Nicolas will play the music, should be fun. Tomorrow we will try to visit St. Jean de Luz and maybe San Sebastian in Spain to taste the local food and see the harbor.
Friday too big!
Tex and Carly Haines, roving students of history and skimming.
