It has been a very busy week and few days over here. Last Thursday we went out with our intercambio partner, Helena, to go “tapa-hopping” for dinner. Tapas are amazing, you can go from restaurant to restaurant and get one tapa at each place for a euro or two. After dinner, Jess and I rushed home (rush is an exaggeration, after soccer the day before, I was waddling/shuffling) to pack for our weekend vacation/Girl’s Weekend in San Sebastian.
The train ride was eventful…I slept for the 6 hour trip.
We arrived in San Sebastian at 6:30am, it was nice and rainy while we waited for the cabs to start running at 7. We got to our hostel and were incredibly surprised to find out our hostel was in someone’s apartment. They had 3 rooms with 6-8 beds in each (bunk beds), but since we were so early, there were still people in our room, so we spent a couple hours sleeping in the living room with our bags.
After getting settled in our room, we walked around San Sebastian, shopped, and explored the city before making it an early night. Saturday was BEAUTIFUL so we all went to the beach. Great day at the beach J Interesting, as the tide came in, a ton of red seaweed came in with it. A couple of girls and I walked up the mountain to the giant statue of Jesus, and from there, we could see the red seaweed that came in with the tide-it had turned the water completely red.
We found a great bocadillo place-I ended up eating there Saturday and going back Sunday to get a bocadillo for the train ride back to Salamanca. The train ride back was interesting-a two year old started talking to one of the girls from our trip and I, and she was adorable!
Monday it was back to class, and then studying for exams on Tuesday and Wednesday. So, nothing too exciting.
Tuesday night we were taken out for dinner (our entire Summer Two group) by the ISA staff here for our “Last Supper”.
Thursday night was our last night out with Summer 2 L And then Friday we went for churros…but the churro machine was broken, however the chocolate café is amazing so we stayed anyway. Saturday was spent mourning the loss of Summer Two and sleeping. The Summer 4 group is showing up tomorrow, and Jess and I will meet them Monday J
