Greetings from the Pays Basque!
We are now on our third day here in Biarritz. Unfortunately, the weather hasn't been as pleasant as expected. It has been mostly rainy, with intermittent sun. Nevertheless, we are making the most of our trip as you can gather from below:
Jour 4 (à Biarritz) - lundi, le 15/6
Today was our first official day of classes. After school, we took our first bus ride to Biarritz to purchase tickets and see some of the attractions it has to offer. Students had time to take a rainy walk on their own before making their way home to dinner.
Jour 5 (à Biarritz) - mardi, le 16/6
What a day! After class today, we learned first hand about la grève, or strikes in France. Some buses were not running today due to drivers striking against the rising retirement age from 60 to 62. Fortunately, neither the strike nor the rain could affect our surfing excursion. The students had a blast during their first surf lesson in Biarritz with 2 French experts. They all look forward to returning next week with better weather.
Jour 6 (à Biarritz) - mercredi, le 17/6
Today is the students' jour de repos or day of rest. They plan to venture out in spite of the rainy weather. Quel courage!
