The Rain in Spain...

Does NOT stay mainly on the plain. Nope. We spent all day Saturday in the sun and then woke up Sunday morning to cold, grey, rain. So we decided to take a bus to San Sebastian. Our hostel was on the fourth floor of one of the really old cool buildings in Old Town San Sebastian. The whole city kind of blew my mind. Everything was so old and lots of cobblestone streets and really old churches. We´d be walking and then run into some old castle and just go in. I would have prefered some sunshine but the city seemed more mysterious all grey and misty. We ate ice cream (of course) down by the water and had tapas and pastries for dinner. Sara doesn´t eat meat so sometimes it´s hard to find her stuff to eat, hence all of the ice cream. Spainish people really love their meat. It´s on EVERYTHING. Everything is beautiful but now we´re back in Santander waiting for our flight to Barcelona this afternoon (it´s Tuesday about noon here.) The weather is supposed to be warm and sunny so I am happy! I didn´t bring clothes for this cold wet weather! Anyways, the plan is Barcelona for two days, meet up with Kareene and head down to Valencia, then we catch a plane Thursday night to Palma de Mallorca, which is the ISLAND!!!! Yay! Sara has to get back to London to get some work done so she leaves Saturday night and I´ll probably stay in Mallorca until Monday and head to Madrid where a few of Sara´s friends are going to Temple! She said they would love for me to tag along! So after that, catch a flight back to London and spend a few more days there with Sara before I fly home on Saturday. ok?
