San Sebastian: Surfs up

We drove into San Sebastian on a dark, overcast, cloudy day. They say the weather here is like Seattle so we weren't too surprised. That didn't stop surfers, the rough weather brought them out. Wetsuits and boards walking through the city streets along the surfer's beach. The next day, another cloudy day, no problem, we had other things to attend to. Then crystal clear, it was like a clear day in the Pacific Northwest, there is noting more beautiful. That day we drove to Bilboa to see the Guggenheim Museum, retracing one hour of our drive from Llannes. We got to see all the beauty we missed on the way in, stunning hillsides, lush green, steep, sheep grazing and beyond those more craggy peaks like the Picos de Europa. And the museum was an absolute treasure. Great space, amazing art, inside and out. Yesterday we got to discover what a bike friendly city this is as well. Great stay here, topped off with pinxtos, of course. Tomorrow its onto Prades, France tomorrow and hasta luego Espana.

This dog sculpture at the Guggenheim was covered in annuals.
