<BR>spending the night there and I wrote to Mme. Debril who runs the refugio
<BR>there to let her know that we are arriving on the last train from Biarritz on
<BR>the 19th at 8:30 pm. The refuge is at 55 Rue de la Citadelle. There are two
<BR>other inexpensive places to stay: Les Donats, 40 rue de la Citadelle and Mme.
<BR>Etchegoin, 9 Route d'Uhart as well as various small hotels that I spotted on
<BR>the net that are more expensive. John and I plan to stay at as many refugios
<BR>as possible to get into the spirit of things and to save money.
