Little excursions that I have been fortunate to be chauffeured to with some of the other guys have included an afternoon in Lekeitio, a small coastal town, with Clément. We picked up a hitchhiker on the way and Clement was quite trusting as he had accidentally left his wallet and camera in the backseat, but all was well. We enjoyed a wall through town and on the beach.

Also, we went on a hike in the Basque mountains with Camille, Marcelo, Clement, and Michele. The fog rolled in late afternoon and we realized we only made it up halfway so decided we would have to make another visit sometime later.

We also went last weekend to pick up Marcelo from the airport in Santander. Roman the mighty Russian/Spanish hulk was a good chauffeur and we all took a lovely dip in the ocean, but sadly I 've no pictures to show for it.

More excursions to report in upcoming blogs, hopefully with more detail...
