Called it...we lost two people on the train because they didn't get off in time in Bordeaux. Luckily, one of the hosts driving to meet us in Biarritz was able to pick them up at the next train stop on the way. I like traveling by train because you get to watch the countryside but it's a lot smoother than a bus.
BORDEAUX TRAIN STATION
We had a two hour wait for the connection. Bought a panini and chocolate doughnut and thought about wandering some, but I didn't want to drag my bags around. Played gin rummy on the train from Bordeaux to Biarritz, got second place. Biarritz is really cool, we went down to the beach after getting of the train and checking into the hotel. Of the two beaches we've been to, I preferred Cassis because the water was cleaner.
A lot of people out on the beach today, once again pretty lax clothing standards. There was some live music right next to the beach which was cool. We had awesome Mexican food for dinner, we've been looking for weeks to satisfy our craving and luckily not only found a place but found a really good one. Washed off the salt water and then went to a bar to watch the USA Ghana game.
We had a ridiculous number of opportunities but Donovan is unfortunately the only one on our team who could capitalize. I feel like we dominated most of the game and got beat on a couple of speed goals. To their credit, Ghana was crazy fast, but we had a ton of crosses and open shots on goal that we couldn't put down.
I can't tell if we get extremely lucky or if the visits are planned around parties, but we went to another awesome outdoor dance on the boardwalk. Since we were right next to the beach, we went down and wandered around towards the end and then called it a night.
