Basque Country, 11/28/10
We pass the Plaza de Toro on the way out of Madrid and I wish we could stay to see the bulls fight. Flat wooden cutouts of EL TORO dot the hills north of the city as we drive through farmland and small, ancient towns. North to the Basque Country. The sky spits rain and melts into sunshine sporadically and we stop somewhere in the foothills and get cheese and tea to go with the leftover fruit and bread we have saved for lunch. The van shakes as we tunnel through the mountains into the south of France and the sun is still speckling rays of light through the rain clouds when we get to Bordeaux.
