Still dealing with the tire replacement. Garage has to order the tire from another town which is causing more delays.
So, today, we took a day trip over to the town of Dax. Wandered around, in and out of shops, along the river, and then lunch at a cute cafe. Decide to take back roads back home and drove through some very pretty little towns - including Brassempouy where they found caves and a 25,000 year old sculpture of a lady's head. Carved out of mammoth ivory, said to be the oldest known carving of a woman's head and hairstyle. The actual piece is quite tiny and resides in a museum in Paris, but they have larger than life versions in this little town to commerate where it was found. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Brassempouy if you're interested in more information.
