Alaina Roman and
After meeting at the school at 8:15, we
got on the bus around 8:30. From there we had a two hour bus ride to San Juan de Luz. That was a very cute coastal town in France. We had
about two hours to shop while we were there. Most people slept on the ride there.
Once in France, we had about two hours of free time in San Juan de
Luz. It was pretty costal town with tons of shopping options. The weather was a
little cold and windy, but beautiful and sunny. Being in this town was
different from our other days because we were surrounded by French speakers. At about 12:30, we got back on the
bus for a half hour ride to San
Sebastián. We were dropped off near a bridge and
had to walk a little ways to the Aquarium. The first section of the aquarium had marine
artifacts, model boats and lots of information about the history of the area.
Then we got to see all kinds of fish as well as jelly fish, lobsters, sea
horses, sting rays, sharks, star fish and other marine life.
After spending some time in the aquarium we were given some free time to
walk around the cute town of San Sebastián. We were given until 4:20 to roam around this town and explore
some of the restaurants and shops. This was a great opportunity to look at
the classic Spanish architecture and take many pretty pictures. It was also
really nice to walk around by the water, the
port reminded me of Scituate
because it was also fishing based. After walking around we meant up and went on
the bus and took a quick ride to a place near the water to see these really
cool sculptures in the rocks on the cliffs. They were rusted metals
large sculptures. The coolest part of
this stop were the holes on the ground that would blow up large gusts of
wind when the waves would crash. After spending 30 minutes here, we got back
onto the bus and drove up the mountain.
Here we could see the whole town and the beach. It was breathe taking to be able to see this amazing city from up
above. After spending 20 minutes here taking pictures, we headed back to the
bus to go back to Gexto to meet up
with our Spanish partners.
Once we got
back to Gexto the majority of us walked to the water
and got ice cream as a group. Knowing that we only have a few days left in
Spain, we have been trying to spend as much time together as possible. After
eating our ice cream we went to El Puente
Colgante of Las Arenas. It is one of the most famous landmarks in Gexto. I have never
seen anything like it before and it was especially beautiful with the sunsetting right next to the bridge and in the
water. After this, some of us went to have
dinner together as well, not wanting this beautiful day to end. After a fun
filled day, all of us were tried and ready to get some sleep for our last two days in Spain!
