I am surely having a wonderful time, it is a cycling paradise and provides enough climbing even for you!For me, I try to alternate my days a little.<br /><br />Your wife might enjoy the book I mentioned above, unless she prefers more scholarly works. It is full of Basque social and cultural history. The 7 dialects were very consciously united into one in the early-ish 20th century.... Speaking the language is probably the major determiner of being Basque, which mysteriously shares some characteristics with some American Indian languages ... at least being agglutinating, adding syllable upon syllable to base words. At least that is my memory, I inadvertently destroyed my notes, so really might be wrong. But it's fascinating!Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377189000287900173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264936256229428266.post-82939184492537186662012-09-14T22:11:13.124-04:002012-09-14T22:11:13.124-04:00Despite being a history major, my main thought whe...Despite being a history major, my main thought when I hear of Eleanor of Aquitaine is Kate Hepburn in The Lion in Winter. My wife's field is linguistics. She is fascinated by small communities like Basque where they share a culture, even though they don't share the same borders. One day we will visit, and that will be a good way to get me to the Pyrenees. <br /><br />Hope you're having a great time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264936256229428266.post-62277704271218900032012-09-12T03:00:15.132-04:002012-09-12T03:00:15.132-04:00Yes, Shoko and I did it in 2001.

Also, the answer to your question about reserving tickets online (for bike space?) is an unfortunate one. You can't do it, as far as I know. Regular tickets - piece of cake.
