Photos from Excursion V: Chocolate and Lunch


The first three photos here are from the village that is famous for chocolate. I forget the name, but it has something to do with "beside the church". The first photo is a picture of the church from which the name of the pueblo is derived. The second is a plaza. The houses are typical of what I have seen in the Basque villages.

In the plaza, waiting to board the bus. Eduardo (Belgium) brought his guitar and they were singing a Spanish song while we waited. I say they, because I didn't know the words and so didn't sing along.

The restaurant in another village. This is most of my table. / Suyoun with a really nice girl (whose name I forget) from Venezuela. Suyoun is demonstrating two wine bottle corks because Frédéric taught us a trick with the corks, a sleight of hand that Suyoun is frustrated to have not figured out yet. I don't know how, but I figured it out. It's quite amusing, something to do absentmindedly like twiddling thumbs, but better becasue not many people can do it. I'll show you when I get home (I have two corks now).
