France/Spain 2008


Today, we report about our journey to France and Spain.
First of all, the dogs...
...had a lot of opportunities...
...to run...
...and play...
...at the beach...
...of Mimizan!
But also Claudia and Thomas had planned a little excursion!
Then we continued our journey to Spain...
For the first night, we stopped at this prehistoric stone tomb (fortunately, it wasn't Halloween yet).
In Sonseca, we met Juan Antonio...
...who let his Galgos (Valle Estrella) "chase" after quinces.
We've already reported about the Concurso in Sonseca, before.
After that, we moved on...
...to Antonio, who breeds Galgos...
...close to Badajoz (kennel:
de la Dehesa Extremeña).
Here, the youngest ones have a nap in the sun.
These two friends really "excited" our dogs.
Huracan, one of Antonio's Galgos.
Together, we went...
...to the old town of Badajoz...
...for a nice evening.
We continued the trip, now heading North...
...visited the "Toros de Guisando"...
...and enjoyed the great weather!

We spent two days at the house of our friend Susanna, who lives close to Barcelona.
Back in France...
...we visited Roderick...
...who cooked some
great food for us
(e.g. "Tarte Tatin",
just for Claudia).
Bon Appétit!
In Narbonne, we enjoyed deserted beaches.
At least one took a bath in the sea!
Afterwards, there was some culture for everyone...
...at the famous "Pont du Gard".
Finally, we visited Fabienne and her Galgos Rayma Cagueme (Uschi's brother)...
...and Ukelele's Lolita.
What a strenuous journey!
