Well, to my Spanish home, at least. Today Jeanne and I actually got out of bed before 9 am and took the bus over to San Sebastián, the city I did my study abroad in (gulp!) 15 years ago. I have only been back once since, very briefly, in 2003. And by very briefly I mean one morning, that was it. So it was great to see the town again. As you can see from the pictures, it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I got to walk back down the street I lived ...

That's right, this 35 year old got mistaken for a student today. And she will take it. And the 5.50 € it saved her! Today we met up with those girls that had been having problems to give them a little time to relax and connect with us. We also met up with our one boy again and his host brother. We headed over to the Guggenheim and actually went in this time! Jeanne went to the front of the group to inquire about student pricing, told them there were 3 stude...

Another misty day, so we headed into town to meet up with kalin and her friend again before they went back to Valencia tonight. We did get some churros y chocolate, which was delicious.

Another one who was supposed to be there couldnt get there since her family was all asleep at 4 pm (ah, the siesta), and the other girl, it turns out, is having the sam...

When Maite got home last night, she informed us she wasn't getting out of bed before 9:30 today. :) and today we hopped in her car and headed down the coast first to a town called Bermeo. It's an adorable fishing village set right on the coast (which makes sense for a fishing village, no?). We walked around the marina area and the old town. We were...

I ill cut to right now to explain my title. Jeanne and I just walked in at 11:15 pm and found that our 58-year old host is not even at home that early on a Saturday night! Ah well... So today started out quite slowly. I was awake by about 9:30, but laid in bed for quite a while waiting for Jeanne to wake up. So by the time we we both ready to go, it was pretty much already too late to bother taking our planned day trip to San Sebastian. (No worries - we have all ...
