One of the strangest/kinda nice things about France is that the sun sets at 10pm. Sometimes, this is really disorienting-- like when you think you have the whole evening ahead of you because the sun just set but not really. Sometimes this is a great thing-- like when you're traveling and you get a few extra hours of daylight to wander.

This is where Biarritz comes in. While I was in Bayonne, I realized that my "day" was longer so I took another bus even further south to Biarritz. Again, I knew almost nothing about this city. But when I got there it reminded me of Monaco with its glamorous buildings and beautiful ocean views.

Hydrangeas everywhere. Cute, colorful beach tents. Tons of people in the water even with an overcast sky. Macarons. Chocolate waffles.

I'll even admit that every food-related purchase that day was spent on dessert-related foods. Yup, it was a good day.

    beautiful photos. I love the summer and when its light until 10pm, I get so sad in the winter when its dark at 4.30pm, I'm dreading it already.

    oh my goodness. i thought that that was a waffle with nutella on it and i had a whole ode to nutella waffles comprised in my head, ready to comment. those things are heavenly. but i imagine chocolate waffles would be delicious as well. as long as they're hot and melty. yummm.

    so pretty... and the food.. omg! i don't even like waffles but that looks heavenly.

    I wish I could come and hang out with you for your month there... and we could go all around and have adventures, because you seem like a more apt traveler than me, and that's definitely what I need when I travel ;D

    my sun sets at 8:30 in the summers here, but 10 sounds lovely. as much as i love night it's kind of cool.. i can see where it would come in handy in a beautiful country like france.

    Yowza! That is just MMMMM. Haven't had waffles in over a year (I know, right?!) but, then again, I AM a crêpe girl and my husband and I eat plenty of those (he makes THE most awesome crêpes). I wanna go to Biarritz too, waaaahhh! ;-)
