First Weekend in San Sebastián

Saturday:
Saturday was a beautiful day! We all slept in! Maria and I went shopping a little in El Centro and had lunch together. Jill and our friends from Chicago (Peter, Angela, and Megan) met up with us after lunch to explore San Sebastián some more. We walked across two of the three beaches enjoying the sand and sun! We ventured toward the corner of town where the famous Combs of the Wind statues are. It was a gorgeous day for exploring together! After that we got coffee and hot chocolate at a nearby café and headed home to enjoy a relaxing evening! Aunt Kay and kids were at my parents’ house for the day so I got to see them on Skype as well as Luci and Lilia. Also got to talk to Patrick which was great!!


Sunday:
Maria, Jill and I decided to try to find a church in San Sebastián to attend. We had heard of a Baptist church through Laurie Smith (wife of Pastor Mark at Grace) that was nearby us. The USAC Office also had information about how to get to the church. We were supposed to catch a bus at 10:30 and we think it came early because by the time the next bus was there it was already 11 and that is when it was supposed to start. We didn’t think it’d be appropriate to walk in at least 20 minutes late for our first time. So we are planning on trying again for their Wednesday night service or next Sunday. We went to a café on our way back and then went home for a nap and homework. I took a nice run on the beach today! It was absolutely beautiful! Afterwards I just sat on the edge of a wall just watching waves and listening to music. It was just gorgeous and the waves were huge because a storm is coming in soon. Spent the evening talking to the family on Skype!
