Yesterday we got in a legitimate practice for the first time in at least 10 days, and we'll have 4 more in the ensuing days until we play our next tournament on September 3rd in the city of Pau. It was great to get back out on the court and just hit balls. And since we continue to just play outstanding tennis on the practice court we have no problem staying out there for over 2 hours. We also did some doubles drills for the first time in forever and it made me a bit nostalgic for the game. I'm more determined than ever to find a competitive doubles tournament for us to play in. After the morning hit we went into the city of Biarritz, our campground is about 10 kilometers west of the city in a town called Bayonne, and tried to go the beach. The first beach we found was the tourist beach and it was not pleasant. It was beautiful, of course, but was riddled with people and the water was filthy.

Everyone we've been in the last 2 weeks the water has been some of the more pristine ocean water I've ever swam in. But this beach was in a little cove and because there was no escape for the water, trash was literally floating around. It was unfortunate. We quickly left and found a less crowded, much nicer beach closer to our campsite. Today we finally get to move into our flat so that should be quite nice. It's in the city of Biarritz and supposedly 200 meters from the beach. Hopefully not the trash beach, but either way having a permanent residence for two weeks will be fantastic. Not much else to report.
