San Sebastion PART 2 (and a little bit of France)

And now on to part two.....

Spanish Food and Water water and more WATER

as I talked about in San Sebastian Part One there are bars/restaurants that sell things called Pinchos (appetizer foods) here is a list of the things that we have tried....

Squid
Pigs Blood
Kangaroo
Fried Yellow Asparagus
Goose Liver
Spanish Omelet



yes very interesting........



These HUGE fellas are EVERYWHERE!! They are pig legs.....huge pig legs and they are in all of the stores and restaurants (this is my fist encounter of them at the grocery store)


this was the squid and believe it or not out of all of the crazy food Ive tried in Spain this was my favorite...surprised...yes so was I


Now on to the water.....

Now let me just say that Gonzo and Austin are like little fish...they are in the water constantly....whether its jumping, snorkeling, surfing, or just being crazy...here are a few photos of them....



This is what they did pretty much every day :)ha ha and this too....
And this is Austin Snorkeling.... you wanna know why? cause he lost his wedding ring ha ha yes it slid off when he was swimming...but he is so wonderful cause he seriously looked for it forever (no luck though) and was so so cold after ! oh well guess he is single for the rest of the trip ha ha

So one day when the tide was in and the waves were huge....Austin and Gonzo went for a swim. It was nuts the waves were crashing against the wall and there were so many people watching it was crazy. Out in the water were a bunch of body boarders who would wait for a wave coming in and a wave going out(after it hit the wall) causing a huge wave once they crashed together.... ha ha so Austin and Gonzo decided (even though they didnt have fins or a body board) they would go in too.....



Getting in without getting smashed on the wall was a challenge....





while they were out in the crazy waves....

and getting out was just as hard....run for your lives ha ha

FRANCE (Hossegor)

So for Austins Birthday he really wanted to surf Spain and France in one day...and since he is friends with the prince of Spain.... it happened!
In the morning Austin surfed Spain and then Gonzo took us all to France for the rest of the day to hang at the beach and eat crepes :)

Austins birthday crepe ha ha i mean we were in France its only fitting
Luis, Eugenia, Gonzo and Austin who is to busy enjoying his crepe to look up!


France was so much fun! Happy Birthday love of my life :)


.......next San Sebastian part 3 (yes there is so much to tell seriously)

You are more brave than I am, Sara! Don't know if I could eat those foods. Sorry about the loss of your wedding ring, Austin. You need to find a cheap one to replace it for the rest of your travels...! Thanks for the fun and scary swimmming picture. Stay safe. Love ya, Mom
