July 9, 2019 – So today did not start out so great.  Wayne has some minor intestinal bug and is still not feeling great, but on the mend.  Our doctor had given us some meds in case either one of us got something so Wayne took some meds to try to kill thing.  We slept…

July 8, 2019 – We had a great time partying in Pamplona, but it was time to move on down the road to our next stop.  Wayne briefly contemplated if he was going to get up again to run with the bulls, but we were both so tired and needed the rest.  It is cooler…

July 7, 2019 – This is going to be a very long post, so bear with me.  It was an action-packed day. We had to get up at 5:30 am this morning which came very early after celebrating late the night before. Wayne wanted to run with the bulls today and I was not sure…

July 6, 2019 – We woke up today so excited for the start of the San Fermin Fiesta.  It is traditional to wear the typical Pamplonica costume, comprising a white shirt or T-shirt, white skirt or trousers, and the red sash and red kerchief of the fiestas.

7/5/2019 – We got up today and packed up to get ready to leave…our host only met us when we arrived…she gave us the key and we never saw her again. Strange. We went and put all of our things in the car and then headed into Hondarribia and walked the plaza to find some…

July 3, 2019 – We woke up this morning sad to move on from San Sebastian.  We could really spend some time here.  We packed up our things and Ana was waiting for us with breakfast ready and delicious.   We had coffee, melon, bread, jam and milk.   This is my perfect breakfast.  I think Wayne…

July 2, 2019 – Today we woke up to very cloudy and misty weather. There is a possibility of rain but it was still warm. I was up, dressed and ready to go first this morning and went into the dining room to get us coffee and Ana was there to greet me. She had…

July 1, 2019 – We left Bilbao about 10 AM. It was much easier to lug our backpacks down the stairs than it was to bring them up.  Getting to the parking lot and out into the city was uneventful.  Wayne wanted to go across the Bizkaya Transporter Bridge or more commonly known, the “Hanging…

June 30, 2019 – We woke up this morning excited to go to the Guggenheim Museum.  We bought tickets way in advance to be sure that we could get in as they only admit so many per hour.  We had reservations for 10 AM so we got there early and went to a café on…
