Dear Readers:A quick update ... I've arrived in San Sebastian! My morning was consumed by a 5 1/2 hour train ride from Barcelona to San Sebastian. The ride gave me some time to relax, read my novel, do a bit of work and enjoy some nice country-side scenery.
Upon arrival I decided to walk (with my luggage) from the train station thru town to my hotel in order to get a feel for the city. It was a nice walk, except for the last 5'ish m
inutes which were pretty up hill. The city looks wonderful - picture'esque as I was lead to believe. When you enter the town you are in an upscale looking area that has a chalet/village feel. You soon emerge to the coast which is situated around a bay/sea area. While it is quite overcast today, I was still struck by the beauty of the time.My hotel - Hotel Avenida - is nice. It's no 5-star hotel, but more than adequate for my needs. The best part is that my room looks out onto the whole
town - so gorgeous. After checking in and unpacking I walked back into town and selected a beach side bar in which to read and enjoy some wine (no, I'm not turning into a lush). It was a very peaceful way to spend the afternoon. Tonight my plan is to grab dinner and do some more reading and walking. Should be nice.Tomorrow I hope to enjoy the town, and some warmer weather (it's currecntly in the high 50's, but should be in the high 60's tomorrow). Think warm thoughts.

Shabbat shalom,
