On Wednesday we went to St. Jean-de-Luz and Bayonne for a day of sun and a picnic on the edge of Europe. We left as soon as school stared and drove for about an hour and a half to St. Jean-de-Luz. We imeadiately headed for the beach. The ocean was freezing but it was refreshing in the hot sun. After two weeks of rain and grey the sun and heat was welcome by all. For lunch we climbed a hill, and at the top we found a big flat rock to sit on. From our picnic spot we could see the coast of Spain and the mountians. After lunch we went back to the beach for a bit of swimming. Then we set off to Bayonne.
In Bayonne we walked around the town and saw a beautiful cathedral. The town was full of amazing old houses and there were streets that looked straight off of a post card. When we went to have dinner none of the restaurants were open, so we went to a pub in Pau for dinner.
