(I promise, parents, the paper is almost done! I'm taking a little break!)
1. The hostel was actually an apartment. There were 4 rooms, a closet, a common room, a kitchen and a bathroom with 1 sink and 1 bathtub/shower. It was run by two brothers who run the hostel, give surf lessons, and are also snowboarding instructors in the Pyrenees. We were the only girls staying at this hostel. There were a lot of bros there. Yes, bros, they were in San Seb for "sick waves", "girls", "cheap beer", "a good time"..... Some had tattoos, (across their chests, around their biceps, around their calfs, down their spines, across their backs), one had been stabbed, one was hoping to "jump on some limestone", all were total characters and surprisingly good guys!
2. The weather was amazing. I wore dresses without tights and tanned on the beach! In a bathing suit! (Though I think I didn't tan enough for it to stick around, I didn't burn, despite my current lack of pigment. I consider this a WIN)
3. I also travelled to the Guggenheim Bilbao. It was AWESOME. The architecture! I just don't even know where to begin. Definitely had a little Museum Studies freak out, and e-mailed my professor.
4. Had amazing pintxos (Basque for tapas) and met French people that spilled Basque anise seed liquor all over my blazer. They were in town for a rugby game, and they were out celebrating because their team won! (I doubt they celebrated much the next morning, though! Reason 1: €328 bar tab...)
5. Came back crazy tired and knocked out on the train home. SO FUN, WANT TO GO BACK, WANT TO LIVE THERE, WANT TO SPEAK SPANISH.
Photos and stories on their way, now, back to my paper!
