San Sebastian
Well, I'm sitting here just a block away from our beloved mega super market stealing someone wireless while I enjoy a bar of white chocolate and jazz off my iPod. The first day here in San Sebastian was very sunny and hot, that was the first day. Yesterday if rained in the morning and was overcast nearly all day, and today is not much better. But as you all know we did go to the Bob Dylan concert last night on one of the beaches. BD is not one of my favorites but for free I guess you can't beat it. I did have the cheapest draft beer (Heineken, 2 euro) at the concert which I enjoyed on the other side of the river from all the crowds. These pictures are from here in San Sebastian and the concert except for the one in the stadium, that one is from the final world cup game that Will and Caleb went to in Paris.
Caleb and Will took the bus up to Pamplona to see the running of the bulls and maybe a bullfight. I'm here because it was a 6 euro one way fare and I'm running tight since a hostel that we had booket in Granada told me that they would charge me the first night because I had not canceled 48 hours in advance(?!?!?). As if they could not find someone to fill that bed, heaven know that if they were here in San Sebastian they would have at least 6 people that would kill to have that bed. We went to the train station this morning to see about getting the train to Pamplona and there were people scatterd everywhere in sleeping bags and the like who had not found a place to stay.
Yeah, so this little jaunt to spain turned out to be alot more then what Caleb was selling it on. Hopfully we can camp at this little place in Normandy tomarrow (if we get there) for 5 euro a night. I'll see if Caleb or will has anything when they get back, I sent my camera with Caleb so I hope there is more pictures.

Cigars and Cheep beer? I guess I should have come along. Missed you both in the BW but we actually had a lot of sunshine this time. Coincidence? HUM!! Enjoy the rest of your time in Europe. If I had a way to send $$ I would. Can not wait to see all of the pictures.
