San Sebastian

As previously mentioned in our Biarritz blog entry, we safely arrived in San Sebastian on Thursday. After 4 days and three nights, I think we can safely say that San Sebastian is an awesome tourist destination for anyone. The tapas (or pinxtos in Basque) were a great way to fill the belly, the people were nice, and we had some beautiful weather on a couple days which made for a nice time at la playa. Although it was difficult dealing with the clothing optional atmosphere. More pictures and ab...

Lunch at the Guggenhiem, Dinner in S. Sebastian

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 ...

Take a guess what we did...

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.

Bon Jour Monsiour Pierre

... 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!!

Tapas and Waves

... only look good. After our first night, we realized they sit out on the bar all day, so who knows how long they sit there. I had a horrible stomac ache after our first night... no wonder. For our second tapas experience, we ordered off the menu and we had Kanguroo Tacos and Shark. It was absolutely delicious.

Beach bum

... little disappointing, as the tapas Pervez, Rob, and I had last year seemed much tastier. It wasn't until we hit the final restaurant of the night that we actually had some excellent Basque pintxos. The night ended way earlier for me than it should have, but I felt like absolute garbage.

Earlier on the beach, Nick had mentioned that there was a special commemoration in San Sebastian tomorrow, on calle 31 de agosto. In 1813, a ...

Days 2-3

Yesterday we got up early and were out the door with breakfast by 8:45 (very impressive for us) with a breakfast of croissant, bread, nutella and cheese.  We drove down through France via Le Mans, Tours, and Bordeaux to San Sebastian.  One thing I forgot to mention yesterday is how much I like the signs for towns in France.    They have a picture unique to that town that has a highlight of what that town is known for.  Very impressive and it made we want to visit them all ...

Sea Shell Paradise

... it was a small fishing village and I had no clue, except that a great architectural wonder was an hour drive away. Arriving in the late afternoon from Lourdes we were tired and not wanting to lug our bags to yet another location. Only having a guidebook with a small map I began to navigate through the streets finding our hostel. Our welcome into Spain was incredible. Before we arrived to our hostel three different people helped us find our way ...

Setting In

... I repeat it..haha...so, we saw the Royal Palace that is still in use and I know I mentioned about that. I really liked the Prado Museum. This is worth repeating. Are you familiar with the painting by Greco (I think) called Las Meninas? It's the one where there are three pretty little girls in the center of the picture and two less attractive little girls that have less light shining on them. Greco paints himself painting a picture and there's some sort of attention towards ...
