Today is France’s Independence Day. I actually have to research on how France became a country. From what I heard, it’s more complicated than United States’. United States’ was just simply to be free from England. Anyways, Anaïs, Michèle (Anais’ mother), and I went to La Rhune. It’s the highest mountain in Pays Basque region. We took a little train to the highest peak where we got to see the most amazing view of the entire Pays Basque region. It’s absolutely gorgeous. We can see Biarritz, Saint-Jean de Luz, Bayonne, and even Spain. Did you know that Bayonne is right next door to Spain? In fact, I actually walked across the border on the mountain. Part of the mountain is in Spain! I have to mention something that is hysterical – if we want to take a dog with us on the train to the peak of the mountain, we have to pay the admission like us, the people! The amission to pay for a dog is the same price as we pay for a child – 7 euros!
