Spain!

Alright, so I'm in Spain.  Actually, the Spanish Basque country. We stayed the night in San Sebastian. And the beach is literally right down the street from me.  Last night Jennifer and I walked to the beach and then walked all the way along the beach to the other side of the city and then wandered downtown trying to find somewhere to buy a swimsuit (we didn't find anything).


Yesterday we also stopped in Bayonne and took a tour. Bayonne is the largest city in the French Basque country.  I really liked it.  I learned a lot from the tour, too.  For example, I never knew the ruling family of England was French for 300 years. Also, 45% of the English language is French.  I also learned the origin and history of the middle finger gesture. It's lengthy so I won't go into it right now but ask me if you want to know. It's nothing that you'd expect.  Lastly, there are legends that say bayonets originated in Bayonne (I'm not sure if they're true though).


Last night, Jennifer and I ordered a pizza from room service (and then had to go pay the front desk so they wouldn't charge to our room) and I'm pretty sure that was the best pizza I've ever had. It was so good.  Our jeans were soaked from walking in the ocean so we came back to the hotel and put on pajamas before we even thought of going to eat....  You can't go eat in pajamas. But the pizza was delicious, and I would like to order 15 more of those pizzas to take home.


I like Spain. It's nice. (Actually, I think I just like the beach.)
