We´re in Spain now!

Hey everyone,
We arrived in spain yesterday after travelling down the Atlantic coast of France. From Paris, we went to Bayeux, in Normandy, and took a tour of the D-Day landing beaches there, as well as the museum. A temporary port was built there in 1944, and parts of it are still visible out at sea. It was really neat to see. Very moving place, for sure!
From there, we headed to a town called Tours, in the heart of the Loire Valley, which is a region that produces wines. We went to a gorgeous chateau called Chenonceau, as well as some castles in the region . One was where Leonardo Da Vinci was buried - they really love him in France!!
From Tours, we took the train down the coast to Biarritz, which is near the Spanish border. There are a few surf breaks, but a storm had made the waves really big, so Rob didn´t try them out.
From Biarritz, we crossed the border into Spain and we are now in a small surf town called San Sebastian. Now Amanda is getting her French and Spanish confused, and to mix it up a bit, they also speak a different language here called Basque. Most of the signs are in Basque, which is über confusing.
We really like it here, though, and are going to stay a few days. The waves are rideable, so Rob is going to venture into the cold Atlantic with just a shorty wetsuit, cuz that´s all he can rent!! The weather is supposed to be great here over the weekend - over 25 degrees.
From here, we will head to Madrid and then south to Grenada, to see the mighty Alhambra.
