One week down, two to go. The trip has turned out to be so much fun. We never know what is going to happen next or who we are going to meet.
After a very long drive, we are now in Barcelona, Spain we left at 10 am yesterday June 17 and arrived at 8pm. On our way here we made a stop in Pamplona to see where to running of the bulls takes place each year on July 6-10.
We have been running into many other groups from the EF tours company. At our hotel last night, we talked to a group from Chicago, and today we met some from Thumb, Ohio, Colorodo, and Columbus, Ohio.
We heard many interesting conversation as we walked throught the streets of Spain. While we were in San Sebastian the language was Basque. The language was very different from Catellan which is similar to Spanish.
On the way back to our temporay home, from town, we had a converstion with the taxi cab driver, he was very nice he taught us some words in Basque like: nilinche polita means pretty woman, and aguro means bye.
In the town San Sebastian we saw a couple fighting in the middle of the plaza. I could tell they were because some of the words were similar to the Spanish language.
Another conversation was at the dock where we purchase tickets to go to a little island in the middle of the ocean. The owners had three kids, and they set up lunch for them in the middle of the plaza in front of the ticket booth. The little boy was playing soccer with his dog and dad, and we could hear the boy tell the dog " anda fecha." Then the ball got away from the little boy. One of the pedestians walking by kicked to ball back causing the drink of one of the kids to get all over her and the whole family ran to help.
They are so liberal here in spain. At the island there were so many kids,their parents just let them run without underwear or diapers. We also passed by a nude beach.
Tonight we are going out to paint the town red, so we will see what new experiences await.
Aguro! Bye
