I was going to call this blog travel day, but Troy wanted to make sure Charlotte knew he was continuing the ham quest. The majority of today was a travel day. We were not sure if we should go through Spain (which would take us back to Barcelona and felt like back tracking) or if we should go through France. So we decided to let the Garmin lead the way and she took us through France. We got to see a lot of the countryside as fastest route takes you through some small towns 🙂
Today was a 7 hour + drive so when we found our hotel we were tired of driving, but if we were to eat we needed to head out. So we decided to stay near and find some bread (cibattas (which has the same name in any language) (we are in Basque which has it’s own language)) and our 5th jamon which was a Salchichon iberico.
Our hotel is in a beautiful place outside of the cities. They eat late here (starting at 9 pm) so I think we will have a lot of tapas at our hotel, because I wouldn’t want to drive these roads at night after a few wines. They are a little curvy. The price we pay to be in the boondocks by the sea. Speaking of the sea after the sun set there where 10-20 boats out fishing.
Tomorrow we are going to hit the road and find some wine!
