Streets of Biarritz

Market Scenes from Biarritz -- we "lunched" our way through the market; sampling sausages, ham,
seafood, cheese & pates...all with a plentiful
supply of wine to go with!!! We topped off our
market visit with homemade bite sized treats of
brownies, cookies and a local basque cake served
with espresso!!! Our guides through the market
were the adorable couple pictured to the right --
Greg & his lovely fiancé(naturally, I can't remember
her name)!!

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.
