mis amigas y yo took a day trip to Fuenterrabia/Hondarribia (depending if you speak Spanish or Basque). We missed our bus stop on the way there, but so did an Aussie couple, so we eventually found our way back. (Aunt Mary, he watched Rick Steves and had his little guidebook). Anyways, it's a small town on the Spanish side of the river, so we waved to France. Lunch was at a pizzeria, which was kind of tonta of me since I had pizza for dinner Friday night and then again Saturday night. But the pizza here is deeelicious. St Louis style, oh yeah! (thin crust)

There is also a Medieval part to Hondarribia, so we walked around that. You don't see old stuff like that in the States!
For dinner, my padres' daughter came over with her young daughter and student they're hosting from my group. That led to the first sobremesa (where everybody just sits and talks around the table after dinner) I've had here. We talked a lot about languages since there were 2 of us students. And just like a mother, my madre said in front of everyone how she's noticed a definite improvement in my speaking, and that when I don't think about it I speak rapidísimo (really fast). Touching :')
Friday
We went to the red carpet at the San Sebastián Film Festival. The cast of "Intruders" was there, including Clive Owen. It was raining, so people had their umbrellas up and it was difficult to see. But it was exciting just to be around for people screaming and freaking out.
