San Sebastian

Hey!  The sun came out and the rains stopped so we took a road trip to San Sebastian, Spain.

There's a pretty wide beach, people were bravely swimming amd frolicking in the waves.   There were surfers, paddleboarders and kayaker as the day went on and the waves got higher.

This wrought iron fence is a hallmark of the town.  You can buy pendants, jewelry, mementos with this shape in it.  I have to say I was relieved to see NO padlocks of love all over it.

We found some art.  Note the dad fishing with the kid with the heart.

This piece , on the side of the Cathedral of San Sebastian depicts the shape of sound. 

No surprise.   Everyone, who is anyone,  is here at the Cathedral.

One of the city's centers used to be a bullring.

Now the apartments surrounding it have the numbers of what used to be the seats.

Kinda cool.

We enjoyed shopping here as well.

 If only.....

There's a Halloween movie festival going on, we may have to miss it...

 This was a surprisingly tropical town for chilly Northern Spain.

Check out that mysterious palm tree trunk.

These look like Gaudi balconies on a residential street.

We walked through a couple of parks.

We found a sidewalk bar with a view and where we had some of San Sebastian's famous pintxo  or Tapas.

Then we waved goodbye to our friends, Don Quixote and Sancho and headed home.
