Hello
all,
after a quiet
day on
the 8
th,
recovering from jet
lag,
we set off
to explore
our surrounding area.
Pissos is ajacent to a national
park, and
something I
wasnt expecting, a (plantation)
logging industry.
Timber is used extensivley in building and engineering in France.
The french seem to be able to mix this heavy industry and
refined rural
life together.
We are about 30k
from the coast where there are
various resort and camping
holiday areas.
We took a trip
to Biscarrosse, a
pretty costal
town.
Last night we went to see the stilt racing.
Early timber workers used stilts to harvest sap, and
the tradition
is continued by their decendants. In
typical French style
they manage
to do
it in style!
Anyway today we are off
to explore
Barritz where there is a large
maritime museum. SEE YA.
