You can always rely on McDonald's to tell you what country you're in (the McCroq in France was credible, sort of); besides, McD's is the only continent-wide reliable wifi source, too |

We're deep in Basque country; this guy atop the Mercado in the Centro |

Street in old town, lined with tapas bars |

Castle overlooking one of the harbor entrances (before the weather fell apart) |

More of the harbor, with the other side and the little island in between |

Jesus blessing it all |

And the absolutely best-yet St. Sebastian so far; duh... |
We have spent some days in San Sebastian now. It is a lovely city, as gorgeous as any I have seen...a small harbor guarded by two mountains, an island in the middle, glorious 18th and 19th century buildings all around the harbor...plus the best cuisine in Spain, jambon, and tapas, and all the rest of that stuff. The weather has cooled considerably--it snowed Monday night!!!--and we have grown a bit lazy. Besides, we are awaiting news of our new/improved international driving license.

Wes and I spent a week in San Sebastian in May. We loved it. The weather was much better when we were there! We stayed in a hotel right on the water...visited lots of local places, took lots of long walks around the harbor. Go to the top of the mountain for great views of the city...you can ride a city bus up there and take the tram to the top.
Hope that the DLs get there soon. We enjoyed Basque country and all the food. The wine is great and very cheap. We shopped in the market and bought great foods for picnics. Wish we were there!
