Last Thursday was a holiday in Switzerland (essentially Switzerland's version of July 4), so we hopped a plane with some of our good friends from Geneva to go to Hossegor on the southwestern coast of France for the long weekend. Our friend Thibault's parents have a vacation house in Hossegor and they were gracious to host our rowdy bunch for the weekend. The ironic thing about Hossegor is that it is also the same town that my sister and I spent several weeks in during high school when we went and stayed with family friends who also had a beach house in the same town! How ironic, right? So in addition to having a kick ass weekend at the beach with our Geneva friends, I also got to (shortly) reunite with our family friends who were there for the weekend!
While in Hossegor, we basked in the sun, caught some waves (Hossegor is known for its large waves and surfing community), went to Thibault's parents' driving range, had some AMAZING french meals cooked by Thibault's parents (duck, foie gras, etc etc), and hit the town for a few nights out. It was a perfect summer weekend and we can't wait to hopefully return next year! It is so nice to know that as we get close to the 1 year mark of living in Switzerland, we have made some really fantastic friends and have had such wonderful experiences here. We are really enjoying our summer in Europe!
