Hola from San Sebastian

Hola!!

So we made it San Sebastian. It was a mission train ride from Paris that took us 5 and a half hours but we finally got there.

We are staying right on Playa Del A Concha beach which is the best part of town.
San Sebastian is the cutest beach town and we are loving it here. Everyone is so nice! Its quite an old city with a small old town similar to Dubrovnik and Split in Croatia. Apparently the old town had parts burned down so no buildings are older than the 1800's. Still pretty old though!

Our first night we decided to try some tapas. This being my first time to the mainland Spain I had never had tapas before. Pretty good but ended up being pretty expensive. We wandered around the town a bit and made it back to our room just before the storm hit. Weather forecasts had said it was to rain the entire time we are in San Sebastian. BOOO!

We awoke the next day to discover the weather forecast people were wrong. Thank God! Blue skies laid before us and the mercury hit 27 degrees. I cannot tell you how thankful we were for the beautiful day.
The morning was spent walking up the hill to see Monte Urgull Mendia, which looks like a spanish version of 'Christ the Redeemer' in Brazil. The walk up the steep hill was well worth the effort as the views were amazing that looked out over the beach and further inland.
We spent the afternoon lying on the beach, getting some sun, reading books and relaxing our little hearts out. Such a perfect day!

The last 2 days have been well... less than perfect. It has rained the entire time, which for a beach town where is nothing else to do than go to the beach this has been a bit of struggle to fill our days. We spend our time walking around the shops, and finding cute places to eat dinner. I must say its been a little disappointing the past couple of days as I was keen on getting a tan and spending day after day at the beach. I can only hope the weather for the rest of our trip is great.

Tomorrow we head back to London for a day then Mitch and I head back down to the rest of Spain. I cant wait!!

Adios amigos!!
