I am quite content with this day. The weather has been lovely, and I was out plenty to enjoy it. And I even swept my room to boot. What an accomplishment!
First activity was buying concert tickets with my bro. Aw yeah, we're seeing Berri Txarrak in April. Molaaa! Afterwards we went to a nearby park which I've never been to. And there were PEACOCKS! Reminded me of summer camp. On a related note, near the school I do English at, there is a park that reminds me of the Metroparks. I guess this one does too, kind of a homey outdoor place. :)
Then I went home for about 15 minutes before heading back into the sun with Atun. We got ice cream: mine was banana split and it tasted even more real than I expected! Mmmm. Also, the guy noticed we were trying a bit of Basque, by saying 'txikia' for small and 'agur' for goodbye, so he told us " have a nice day" in Basque. We were a little confused, and then I tried to say "you too," a word which my friend Gorka always has to remind me of. It's
berdin (i'm finally remembering it!), and yet again I couldn't remember it so I just said "uhhh...b-algo. a ti tambien!" Jaja it was just a pleasant interaction with a local. Like a Basque! 8-) Then we laid at the beach a bit. We had to jump up and move our towels because the tide came out of nowhere. Very high tides today. We then went to the beach Ondaretta,
which is closer to the uni/fam's house, and watched the surfers for a while. Just a bunch of people catching the waves near the wall. There was a guy a little older and gordito, so I cheered for him. From the wall of onlookers we went to the Peines del Viento, a comb-like sculpture that meets the waves. Pretty neato. Photos to come, assuming Autumn makes them available.
