France

After parting with Rod and Shelby, we headed for France (which is right over the boarder from San Sebastian where we were). Biarritz was our first stop and our favorite- it is an adorable coastal town with a relaxed feel. Only spending one night, i wished it was more.
The next stop was Bordeaux. Since our train got in when it was already dark we did not get to se much and the next day our train left at 12 we did not get to really see what Bordeaux had to offer. On the way to our next stop,La Rochelle, we experienced a HUGE student protest/riot! At one stop on our train around 100 students entered the train all at once, at first we thought it was a field trip, but once they started chanting and singing our thoughts changed...when they got to their stop, thousands more were on the train platform waiting, chanting and holding signs! They all headed out of the train station and onto the streets...it was crazy!! We asked the train ticket man what they were saying and he told us in broken English that they were protesting against the prime minister!!! We spent the night in La Rochelle, another coastal town. The next day we traveled to England!!!!
