Arcachon, oh my!

Yesterday one of Pedro's teammates, Thomas, was awesome enough to take us to Arcachon, a smaller town about an hour west of Bordeaux. The main attraction: beaches!!! It was a beautiful today and the beach was very beautiful and relaxing. We also drove over to La Dune du Pilat - the largest sand dune in Europe. So cool! A bit challenging to ascend but worth the beautiful 360 degree view of the beaches and forest. ( http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100314837889203.2703431.6234577)

We had lunch at Thomas' house in between being at the beach at the basin and the ocean (!) and dinner there, after. Lots of fresh seafood...not necessarily cooked, but good quand meme.

We came back to Bordeaux this morning and Pedro and Thomas played their first match at a tournament in Cenon (across the river from Bordeaux). They both played really well!! Pedro's best win in France so far. He plays again tonight. Meanwhile, I'm on tennis overload with this + Roland Garros + being in France. Not that I can complain...

The work I've been doing is also going well; a little tedious but I'm making progress...
