Bonjour from Ben







Bonjour from Ben!!!




I have been really busy! Our time is nearly up!!! we are off to paris on monday.



Over the last few days we have been to Spain.... Bilbao to see the Guggenheim Museum, it was cool and I liked the spider and threw money into the water and made a wish!!! I have been to lots of churches over the last few weeks.



San Sebastian was really fun, I made a friend called Jo who has a Pintxos Bar in Old San Sebastian. He bought us lots of lollies and he gave dad Cider!!! I bought a T shirt there with the Basque flag on it. I will show you it when I get back!!!



We ahd a great Family lunch at La Belle Auberge our Waitress was great and her name was Alice.



Got to go to bed now.



Tell you more from Paris.



Adios Amigos



Ben



I'm coming home soon yal!

whats up pals!



I'll just tell you a bit of what the Schwarzies and me have been doing in the last week or 2.

Dad went to london 3 days ago on a little plane and he seems to be having a great time there, we're picking him up from the airport tomorrow.he is also getting to go to Gordon Ramseys restaurant for free -his friend is paying for him,lucky daddy! one of the main reasons he is going there is to see his big brother, Evan, his wife and their 3 children, he hasn't seen him in years. We went to Spain 3 to 4 days ago and had a great time there! In bilbao we saw the Guggenheim and looked at everything inside. At the same place outside we spotted the cute dog made of beautiful flowers and the colour coated flower sort of things made of titaniam-aswell as the Guggenheim itself. If you don't know what the Guggenheim is, it's a huge building made of heaps of square titaniam sheets all put together to make one very large building.
Anyway, after Bilbao ,the 7 of us all drove to San Sabastian and stayed in hostal alemana for a night. we stayed up till 10:30 to 11:00,and the adults kept us up with coca cola! last time we came here we stayed up till 11:30 to 12:00! (we don't ever stay up that late usually) half the time we were there I searched the town for boot shops, seriously,it drove the adults crazy!
Today Mum Ben and I visited the salt museum,it was interesting.This is an important part of the history of Salies de Bearn. In Salies, they have a weekly market and since I did not find any in Spain,I found some cheep,perfect,simple boots right here in this little town!!!
There was also some wonderful food in the tiny market too.
Oh I forgot to mention that a little while ago,we went to La belle auberge and had a delicous 3 courses,the adults menu had 4 courses, 1st course on the kiddies menu was a lovely salad of carrot,tamato and cucumber,next was a over cooked steak(I prefer mine medium rare)and some yummy garlicy potatoes! then of course we had the dessert, scrumpcious chocolate ice cream with a nice little cake. The waitress was lovely to us and she spoke some english!
rm11,i hope the show went brilliantly and you all are well.
Everyone else,i hope you are doing just fine aswell.
I am coming home in about 9 days with my awesome family!and I really appreciate Nana giving us all this wonderful opportunity, coming to France!!
Good bye for now!
