Day #5 and we are starting to feel comfortable in our new space and the surrounding villages. Today we stumbled upon what seemed to be the perfect beach on our drive between Bidart and Biarritz. We spotted a playground from the road that had an amazing view of the ocean It was the first playground we had seen and thought would be just right for Annabelle. It turned out to be just right for all three of us. Beyond the playground are manicured lawns with several paths perfect for walking and baby naps. At low tide there are tide pools to check out and the middle of the beach is virtually rock and seaweed free - perfect for body surfing. There was also a nice left breaking for Nathan to try out his new board. Annabelle and I hung out in the sandbox for a long while and then walked one of the paths lining the beach while Nathan surfed. I am happy to report that Annabelle has finally figured out that sand does NOT taste good, and is no longer shoveling it into her little mouth. Later, while Annabelle napped, I read on a bench until Nathan joined me. Just as we were discussing how ideal this new spot was, and not moments after the above photo was taken, some stealthy thief made off with Nathan's wetsuit that was drying on the ground not three feet behind us. Such a bummer. It definitely put a damper on our morning and reminded us we need to keep an extra eye out. Tomorrow we plan to revisit the same beach, so a word to all you stealthy French thieves: the Ellis' are on our guard and will not be taken twice.
