San Sebastion and Biarritiz were the big towns. Each bordering on the atlantic on the southwest corner bordering France and Spain. I lived with a Basque family for 2 summer an an exchange program. I was only 17. The family I lived with had a rough luger that was hidden in the foundation wall. If only I knew then what I know now!This was my first Luger I actually held in my hand and I liked it! I was afraid to sneak it. I remember it was rough and proboly belonged to the French resistance. My partner Bruno Duclois was a partier, as were my Basque family. Could the Basque party, Laced oozo in fresh sangria, caldo gelago and shrimp ajio! We drank out of a leather bladder then fell off my moped! Bayonetes were first made in Bayonne, France! The summer of 1972. I should write a screen play! Thanks for letting Me share that!
