Bordeaux------>Madrid

Excited to finally get the car, a Fiat Punto which I have named Beldar until my companions stongly argue otherwise, we headed out on the road trip portion of our journey. We left our gracious abode in St. Germain and managed to get as far as Bordeaux. Upon the advice of friends of our hosts, we were guided toward the Formule 1 chain of hotels that exist throughout Europe. So great!!! Suited our unique requirements for lodging, and was very Year 2000 Ikeaesque futuristic. And cheap! 35 euro an night. Even with a common bathroom and shower, we found it very private and comfortable.

On the way to Madrid, we stopped in Hossegor, which was supposed to have some of the best surfing in the WORLD according to James' cousin. Sorry Matt, the surf didn't look so great, but the sand was fantastic on the feet. The water was a bit to cold to swim in. In any case this is what we look like on this side of the Atlantic:




And then a beautiful sunset. Yay France!!!
