El Pais Vasco

Semana Santa in el Pais Vasco.  First stop, a cold and rainy Ciboure and St. Jean de Luz.

Brice sold taloak at the Guadalupe festival, while we ate them and watched traditional Basque sports, including wood chopping (there must've been some boulder lifting going on as well).

The last day cleared up and we had a lovely improvised afternoon at the beach in Socoa.

Then off to a campground where we crammed into a little cabin and enjoyed hanging out, eating and exploring the surrounding area.
