España

Hola!
Today we made our way to San Sebastian, a cool beach town in the Basque region of Spain. We are staying at a hostel-type place where the owner speaks no English, but is very nice. It´s also very Spanish, as we arrived at around 1pm and had to wait for our rooms to be cleaned. The explanation: everyone slept in kind of late, so they didn´t have time to clean the rooms yet. So far, the town is really nice, we are probably going to go to the beach a lot and eat a lot of tapas. Should be fun.

The last bit of Bordeaux was nice, the wine tasting/class was very informative, although not our favorite wines ever. We learned about the appellation controlee and why the region produces different wines.

Once again it is Soldes seaon in France, which means everything is really cheap, hooray! It also means that I have been here a very long time, because we were in the midst of the Soldes when I arrived in February. Less than twenty days left, which seems like a long time, but is sure to pass by very quickly.

Sounds like great fun! With tapas, Mom and I were never quite sure what we were eating!

You have been there a very long time. Are you going to the running of the bulls in Pampolona? If so DON'T GET IN FRONT OF A BULL!
See you in 20 sleeps.
