Biarritz, France and a hike

Just a short drive from San Sebastian is Biarritz, France. Another beach city, Biarritz was a nice place to eat lunch and visit a casino.




We only spent a few hours in Biarritz but it was very relaxing and quiet. Although packed with tourists, it was still a nice destination for the afternoon. It smelled like flowers and the sea!

Back in San Sebastain we took a VERY long hike up the hill in this picture. If you look very closely you can see a statue of Jesus at the very top. That was our goal. I know there must be a direct rout with signs and a paved path, but of course the Biasi family took the back way. We always do. It seams like that is a metaphore for our entire life. We always get where we need to go but somehow we take the path you would least expect!

Halfway up the mountain/hill we found this tombstone. It was such a steep path that I think this fellow just didn't make it. I felt like there might need to be a place for me right next to him! It was a hard climb!


Resting along the way...

I knew we were taking the back way up to the top when we walked through this passage way. We woke up a sleeping homeless man as we cut through his resting place!!!!

We finally reached the top and it was beautiful. (and so is Maria) The new picture at the top of the blog is also from this location.
