Getting ready to leave and the last adventures of this trip…

 A day trip to another town…

OLORON - STE MARIE

We take the train from Pau…


We cross the River Ousse


What we see on the way


We arrive in Oloron Ste. Marie

Map of City

From the train station…



We make a wrong turn, but find the Cathedral Ste Marie



Then to the Visiters’ Center 

Tourist Office of Oloron Ste Marie


Now we go towards the Lindt Boutique and Factory…


It’s crowded, so we get our sample
and start back to the Gare



Gare de Oloron


Back across the Ousse

We take the Funicular from the train station
up to the Boulevard for home

***

the next few days are uneventful, but still 
photographically engaging.

Leaves in a puddle of rain

Statue of Maréchal Foch

Chappell des Reparatrices

On Stade Nautique…
almost home

I want to live in this chateau.

We talk to Anthony before he leaves for Japan…
AGAIN

Patrick and François come to us


We have a lively conversation in broken French and English.
We have Empanadas and wine

Yummy!
Best we’ve had since
we were in South America

They offer to take us to the mountains next Saturday. 
We gladly accept.

Christie and David invite us (& Clive) to dinner
at Gueuleton



Clive, Christie, David, John and Susie

It’s Friday morning, my nose is running, 
going through lots of Kleenex.
I stay home all day.
Christie comes by for a visit.
John does the laundry.
We cancel our trip for Saturday with 
Patrick and François

Now we wait for me to feel better to enjoy 
Pau for the next few days.

Snow covered Pyrenees!
