Dear hikers.

Dear hikers, I highly recommend a hiking trip to French Pyrenees. But bring gear. If, like me, you think you can hike in jeans and cotton top, think again. I ended up doing some bra hiking. Very comfy, but a little weird when you run into other hikers.














Hold on! Stop the presses! I now see that bra hiking in jeans is THE THING to do if you're a modern mom.




























ps, Britney! try this look with a fleece sweater, fleece gloves and a very small blue backpack that you may steal from one of your boys. see top pic. on the other hand, you seem very sure that other hikers will LOVE your bra hiking look. you're probably right.

The end consumer and fam are travelling. If you are a reader in Spain or Portugal, please let us know what not to miss. Or if you're from anywhere but still have an opinion.

Ps. Yes for those of you interested in art/archeology/overweight women, that is indeed Venus of Willendorf in the background, with bathing suit and hat.
