A Walk in the Woods

I went to Senpere in the province of Lapurdi, Iparraldean (In the north basque country)(france) the other day and went exploring. The trees finally have all their leaves back, and on this particular day, due to the heat, the forest was sweating with life.

The original Basque forest is an Oak-dominated woodland. The vast majority of the Basque country, however, has been replaced by Pinus radiata, a choice timber species.

This particular patch of forest, to my limited knowledge, seemed to be rather untouched.

My Birthday/ Hiking with a Friend to Beoian

I went to Orendain to celebrate. We ate and drank and played some pelota.

Excursion to Atapuerca/Burgos

We went to Atapuerca to check out the archeological site and to go to a historical demonstration museum to learn how the Neanderthals lived. Then we went to Burgos for one night and took a tour of the cathedral there, then went out and partied. The next day we hiked part of the Camino de Santiago, Checked out a Dolmen, and got stuck on the bus.







We went down a narrow, dead-end street, the bus driver soon realized this and had to turn the bus 180degrees. Consequently, we got stuck. Hahaha!
