san sebastian

today we drove down to san sebastian, spain...originally, we were supposed to go stay there...but, our hotel in biaritzz is so nice that we changed our plans...i'm glad we did...san sebastian is nice enough....but, it's a much bigger city...and it was really, really cold...it's only 45 min. away from biaritzz, so an easy drive...of course, we got there just before siesta...we seem to do that alot on this trip...can't get the hang of everything closing down at 2 until about 4 and restaurants until 7:30...we did find a fun little restaurant...the food was very good....afterwards, even though it was so cold...we had to get gelato.....we then, just walked around the town...i guess marijuana is legal here, but, we didn't inhale!...turns out from our pictures, that we picked up a 'bum'...he was asking persistently for money at the gelato shop...then, in pics we saw him at the cathedral...then, he was at the car park...hmmm...i gave him 2 euros....shem says i shouldn't...the car park itself was an adventure.to get into a parking spot!!  but, russ did a fantastic job...no crashes...it's funny over here....if they are parallel parking on the street...9 times out of 10, they hit one of the other cars...and no biggee!  even when we are watching...funny....we drove back to france...there are 3 toll booths in the 45 min drive...down and back...rip you off!  the boys and tama went to play 'pitch and putt'...we chilled....then tonight went to a great basque restaurant...it was really great food...i don't know...after this trip...russ and kris might be eating meat again!! they're loving it!  then, we took a 'short' half hour walk home...looking for waffles...but, this place closes up early when it's off season!!
a fun day!!!
