Nicol's Hotel San Sebastian San Sebastián - Donostia

... Pinxos restaurant she, Ev, and Jullie had loved 3 weeks earlier. It was truly amazing and we enjoyed talking with a lovely british couple who now run a B&B in Provence. Judy and the kids had a wet but fun time, as the weather had finally turned south.

                       

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!!

                     

We spent the morning touring our recently discovered Bayonne with the kids and Judy continued exploring during the afternoon ...

... it because it didn't sound all that appealing. But after seeing what those guys did with it, I will definitely be ordering it the next time I see it at a restaurant.

Due to some miscommunication with the Italian guys, it ended up just being Nick, Danny, and myself for tapas tonight. It was ...

Sitting at the far end of the promenade we ate dinner, while watching the surfers catch waves, fisherman throw out lines, and dark clouds roll our way.

... but barring the old part of town pamplona is the exact opposite. it reminded me alot of downtown austin with huge green parks, rivers, wide streets, and big apt. and office buildings. Anyways as we explored the city we realized we were low on money so we tried to stop and get some cash: im not sure if i have discussed what a huge problem getting money has been for us. my pin number is seven digits and most euro atms only accept four. pamps was no exception.

We were stuck in the center and no way of ...

... breakfast, ate lunch,then Tapas and then donuts dipped in chocolate. I can´t remember what the donut dish is called but its wholly spanish so we had to try it... as a trio we eat alot!!! Everyday we promise we are going to be good but its impossible when you see the food, which is EVERYWHERE. So tonight we saw that there is a pub crawl for 7 EUR but it comes with a free spaghetti meal. We were after the food and not the beer. It starts in an hour.

adios!
