Bonjour

St Jean de Luz ( inner harbor). We anchored off the city of St Jean de Luz and tendered into the quiet harbor. There were 3-4 foot swells so it posed some problems. Our tour was an hour late because of swells but we made it to Biarritz (lighthouse). Resort town with lovely beaches and surfing! Went to the local market and ate our way through. From ham, to seafood, cheeses, pâté, and desert all with wine!

Approaching Guggenheim - "Puppy" in Transition -
"Puppy" is a Floral Sculpture by Jeff Koons & every
season his flowers are changed; unfortunately, for us,
they're being refreshed now; that's why "Puppy" is under
wraps!!!

"Tulips" another Koons creation!!

After our visit to the Guggenheim we wandered a bit and found

a Tapas bar for lunch; great food & wine; even better, we 

were the only Americans in the place; sorry, didn't think to 

check the name!!!

Bilbao

Guggenheim museum!! Fantastic structure and well done outdoor space along the river. Still marveling and scratching our heads over some of the works. Tapas at a neighborhood place and sweets from a local bakery. All in all a good day.

Tried uploading some photos before we set sail....I think they disappeared!!! Anyway, had a delightful day walking through the town of La Coruna....saw some city sites and a couple of churches and two stops for Tapas and wine!!! Made some new friends along the way....

La Coruna

Stroll and tapas. Finally sunny warm weather, I understand we are fortunate in this because it could be raining! We had a lovely guide through the city and stopped twice for tapas and vino, ole!! Made some new friends and Anne has the pics to prove it! Two cocktail parties on tap for this evening and the dinner menu doesn't look to appetizing so we might try to get into Nobu.
