Lazy Day in San Sebastian

Hola Readers:

Today was a wonderfully lazy day in San Sebastian. I slept in until the mid-morning, went on my new found run and then went through the drill of AM hygiene rituals. On my way to the beach I stopped to finally sample a freshly bake croissant and glass of fresh orange juice at a local bakery, and then staked out a spot along the beach to take in the sun and read. I broke up the day by wandering through the Old City a bit and grabbing some fresh lubina (sea bass) for lunch. Back at the beach I continued to relax until the late afternoon.

I then hiked back to my hotel to exchange bags (backpack for laptop) and climbed back down to my favorite beach-side bar to work on photos, e-mails and such into the early evening. Back at my hotel I changed into jeans and set out yet again (with backpack this time) for the Old City for dinner. While walking along the coast I stopped every now and then to take in the gorgeous scenery, still amazed that at 8:30pm it is hardly dark ... and that even by 9pm it is still pretty light. Alas, I finally grabbed some promising photos of a San Sebastian sunset. After dinner and yogurt gelato I returned to my hotel to begin packing.

Tomorrow I am thrilled to have a good portion of the day to enjoy in San Sebastian before heading out on the 4:30pm train to Madrid where I'll check into a hotel before my Wednesday AM flight.
