    Beautiful pics. Where is that town on the picture? I don't think I remember it... Love the old Pelote Basque poster. Have you ever tried it? It looks really hard to master. Veronique aka French Girl in Seattle

    Dear FGIS, no I have not tried it but I think I have a crush on all the Pelote players, they are all so gorgeous.

    Oh the village is Espelette, now AOC, where the Espelette peppers come from.

    Bien sur! I noticed the gorgeous peppers on the tapas plate. I've never been there. Adding Espelette to my must-see list as I type this ;-)
