Hotel Elissaldia Bidart

Tom and Sue took the day to zip to Bilbao (1:45 south of Biarritz) to see the famous Guggenhiem Museum. Wow, what a building!! The exhibits pale in comparison, but still we enjoyed a solid 4 hours at the museum. Afterwards, we drove back to San Sebastian where Sue introduced me to Alona Berri, the ...

I don't really need to tell you what we did do I? Take one part playground, one part beach, and one part sunset and you have a Kramer day in Biarritz.

           

... Dispite the language barriers they had a lovely time exploring the basque country side. What did we do? Why go to the beach, of course!!

                     

... the kids slept. Tom did a little surfing and another nice sunset was enjoyed during dinner.

                   

... area was, much much better. We still sucked, really not as easy as we thought it would be, we tried for a good 3 hours, then bailed cause our arms we barely paddling at the end.

... three or four languages when we would take a break (overall, I have met a lot of Germans, many Italians, French and Spanish). It was very, very interesting to be talking with Damon for the hike, and it made it go a lot quicker. He has a very interesting encyclopedic knowledge, and he loves to share ¨little saying we have in Ireland.¨ He is Catholic, and has a great knowledge of the religion, and faith (although he is open to talk about questions of that faith), going so far has ...

We arrived to Roncesvalles from Madrid at 1pm so we decided to start our trip that afternoon.
After take our first pictures we asked the people from the village we began our trip, we felt very strong as if we were going to eat the world!!!

Roncesvalles was amazing, our first impression of the Camino couldn't be greater, the refuge is like a great castle, there we get our first stamp!!!

The Camino has started! Buen Camino!

... it is vital. But there are more ways to communicate than through words. Which is appropriate I think because for me basketball is a game that no words can describe. Cheesy, yep, but if you are reading this blog you probably were onto me already. J   Oh yeah.... I also wanted to shout out to the Lady Yotes for their win against Weber. Taking down a Div I school is kind of a big deal, people will know you for it. :) Keep up the good work and best wishes for you all this season!

Alright...so where am I at??!! I've absolutely loved San Sebastian. It's a beautiful place with a lovely laid back lifestyle. There are some beautiful walks - the Monte Urgell park is just gorgeous...great views of San Sebastian, good old history, relics of a time long lost...with graveyards, and temples, and old war remnants. There's little old ladies here that stroll around, arms linked, wearing cute little ...

... to sleep off my sickness. They have this huge mountain with a statue on it, its covered in vegetatian, we hiked to the top saw a great view of the beaches. San Sebastian has the most amazing beaches...google it. Its a GIGANTIC crescent beach that is gorgeous. We went down and hung out on the beach for a bit but the heat and sun was just too intense. That didnt seem to stop the other 3000 people out there though. Topless girls were abound. That night we had 3 new ...
