France & Spain 2009

free counters



A selection of images from our annual vacation in France, this time mostly to the south west, near Perpignan, with a couple of forrays into Spain.

We spent a few days visiting a friend near Rodez in Aveyron, then moved on to near Perpignan for a couple of weeks to explore the Vermillion Coast. We were very close to the Spanish border, so took a couple of day trips to Spain. Interesting contrast to our experience earlier in the year, when we drove down from Vancouver to San Francisco: then, we had to queue for nearly an hour to cross the border between Canada and USA. This time, the only way we knew we'd crossed from France into Spain was that the road surfaces improved quite dramatically! We spent another week at St. Lary Soulan in the Pyrenees, then slowly meandered our way back home via Poitiers in Vienne and finally Honfleur in Normandy.

Note that most of these images have been "geotagged", and PBase is clever enough to recognize this, offering the opportunity to see a map with the location of the image.
Nice touch, PBase.
