Plaza de Zaragoza 4 San Sebastián - Donostia, Basque, Spain and Canary Islands, 20007, 943-463-200
Ran with the bulls in Pamplona - Siena in her diapers. Drove to Basque country and stayed at the Tryp Orly hotel in San Sebastian. The hotel is right on the big beach. Siena loved the carousel right off the beach. The tapas is very creative and delicious.

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 ...
Biarritz, Aquitaine, France kramertownI 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.
Judy spent the day with Pierre, a former wrestler and French Olympic wresting coach (he went with the team to Atlanta) who she had met on the train ride a few days ...
Biarritz, Aquitaine, France kramertown... the kids slept. Tom did a little surfing and another nice sunset was enjoyed during dinner.
Another lovely beach day was followed by an evening tour by Tom and Sue of nearby Bayonne, the financial center of Bayonne/Anglet/Biarritz. What a cute town!! It has a beautiful 14th century ...
Biarritz, Aquitaine, France kramertown... the words to even begin to describe what this evening was like, and its significance.
Back at the hostel, I drifted off to sleep with a feeling of peace and tranquility. One simple quote remained with me - that it is true, that you can judge a man by his friends. Still knowing nothing about Frank, he must have been an incredibly kind, caring, and compassionate man. I know this for only one simple reason - because I had a chance to meet the company that he kept.
... we were eating. Most of the tapas eating is point, grab, and eat, so you don't always know what you're getting. And aside from our nasty meal in Bilbao, we haven't really had anything that didn't taste good. Everything here has been very tasty. Nothing so awesome that I need to urge you to get on a plane right now (like the shrimp in Jimbaran - Bali), but maybe if everything was 90% cheaper (like it was in Asia) we'd be singing a different tune.
San Sebastián - Donostia, Spain thepotvins... match them on your plate and then pay for it when you are all done. They are almost exclusively seafood as well. I had garlic shrimp, crab and shrimp stuffed artichokes, and a whole lot of octopus tentacles which taste kinda like clams but more chewy. It was just amazing. It isnÔ very cheap but they are filling and we had 7 things apiece with two bottles of water each for about 12 Euros. Not the biggest meal but it was so tasty. We then wandered the town some more and called it ...
San Sebastian, Spain ericrg... Justen arrived at De Gaulle, me and Mike were an hour late meeting him, not only that but we took him on a 2-hour blitz-tour of Paris, totally not what he expected when he arrived. We grabbed him from the airport, took him by metro to the Eiffel Tower, got out and shot some quick pictures, then it was off on the train to Amsterdam. I don´t know if it is Justen or what, but ever since he has been in our group, things have ...
