Oh, but we did also go to a painted cave, Grotte de Gargas with lots of paintings of hands with only some fingers held up (great speculation on what that means). No pictures allowed inside, but the link goes to an image search for it.

The Pyrenees
I'm behind on my traveling posts! A few weekends ago I went to the Pyrenees with a classmate whose dad lives there. The weather was rainy and cloudy/misty nearly the whole time, which prevented seeing the most spectacular long distance/whole mountain range/highest-mountain-in-the-whole-chain-right-over-there views, but I thought the brooding, mysterious mountains were quite nice as well. We stayed in the town of St. Beat (Bey-AHT), classmate's dad lives in Eup (pronounced like the word "up"), and we went through Luchon and several other small towns I can't remember the names of, just in case you want to orient yourself! St. Beat is marked on the map below. The whole purpose of the weekend was to look around, so the rest of the post is just pictures!
