Spain

Spain

Another long day of travel for us...metro to airplane to metro then by foot. Miraculously we found the hostel fine! But the weather was the COLDEST we had yet and really wet!!! About 10 minutes after we arrived so did Rod and Shelby! We spent the day catching up and walking around Madrid.

We took a train up north to San Sebastian the next day. San Sebastian is a beautiful quaint city! I love San Sebastian! It also has the best raisin bread I have ever had! We spent the next week renting a car and going west to Santander, Santillana Del Mar, Ribadesella, Mundaka, and then back to San Sebastian. We had a lovely time touring the beautiful coastal towns, castles, beaches, and national parks with gorgeous lakes. Our accommodations were pretty much all hostels with the exception of a "bungalow" at a campsite, where we got to cook and have mexican food and cola coa (hot chocolate) !! The trip was a blast getting to experience a foreign country with friends from home! Rod and Shelby are awesome people and terrific to travel with! Mike got to celebrate his birthday in Spain (Dec 7)!!
