A Day in San Sebastian and France, by Hanna Roy
Today was a pasaporte day
because we were off to France in the small town of San Juan de Luz! I'm sure if
the weather wasn't rainy and cloudy the town would have been very beautiful!
Lots of people bought baguettes and croissants that were absolutely delicious!
The town consisted of many quaint little streets filled with boutiques that had
very nice shop owners, some of whom even spoke English!
It was wicked gorgeous! Even though it was raining and darkout, the beach was amazingly pretty with two big islands across the way. At the
end of a long walk we saw three cool iron statues, called El peine de los
vientos by Eduardo Chillida, that were spread out on a cliff overlooking the
water.
As the rain continued to fall,
we hopped back into the bus and across the border to visit Ondarreta, a beach
in San Sebastián.

In my opinion, the rain and rough waters made them look even better!
Our final stop before
returning back to Getxo was the city of San Sebastián that was right on the
water. When we arrived it was still raining so all anyone wanted to do was find
a cafe and have a nice cafe con leche! There were many shops along the main
street, and at the end there was an outdoor concert that I could not understand
because it was all in Euskera. However, at the edge of the town there was a
very pretty beach in front of a long street, and at the end of that street was
a beautiful church.
Personally, my favorite part
of today was the bus ride. I love looking out the window at the luscious
greenery that surrounds the small towns by the highway. The mountains are
ginormous and absolutely tower over everything. They are especially cool when
the low clouds cover then so that you can't see their peaks, and they appear as
mysterious figures in the distance. I have taken many photos over the course of
this trip, but not so much of the mountains because I feel their majestic
qualities are too great to be seen on film. Definately something to be seen
with your own eyes when they are right in front of you in person. These are
something Scituate certainly does not have, along with many other things we
have come across on this adventure!
