From Seville to San Sebastian

After spending 5 days in the hot, hot heat of Seville, it was time to move on and head up to San Sebastian for the remainder of our time in Spain. Once again, another city that didn't disappoint. It is a very, very beautiful beach town. Our hotel was a bit away from the tourist area (again) and we loved it. About a 20 minute to old town and about a three minute walk to the beach.

We had planned on being in Barcelona for the big football match, but it was proving to be a bit difficult timing wise, so we settled with San Seb. And after we really thought about it - it was probably better to watch it somewhere other then Barcelona seeing how Arnold is a Man U fan. So on Saturday night, we headed into Old Town and got ourselves seats in front of a TV in a pub. Such a fantastic experience - LOVED it. I think if Arnold wasn't such a die hard fan, he might have started cheering for the home team. Before the game started they played their "fight" song and then again after every goal. The people in the bar would go NUTS. And everyone was actually really cool about Arnold being a Man U fan - they were fist bumping him and chatting with us. Plus we weren't the only ones cheering for them so it was kind of nice. Old Town was definitely bumping that night. After the game that night, people flooded the streets in search of new parties.

It was a pretty chill 5 days for us - we hung out at the pool one day, the beach another day and just toured some of the sights. One of the days it was raining so we actually had a very lazy "Sunday" and stayed at the hotel surfing the net, sleeping and watching TV haha. English TV is seriously sometimes the best thing ever - I know it sounds funny, but we miss TV every so often. They had one English channel which was Fox so we watched A LOT of Bones (haha its actually not too bad), Lie to Me and Family Guy - I think we watched 3 hours straight of Family Guy - haha sad, yes, I know, but so so funny at the same time and when you only have one English channel you aren't picky. (I will admit it, I actually watched an epi of Ghost Whisper while Arnold was still sleeping - like I said, you can't be picky when you are craving TV and that's all they have for English).

I think our time in San Seb was really good for us to re-charge and relax. Once again, almost wished we would have toured the towns near by, but we were happy just to relax and do a lot of nothing. Next time we go to Spain we will tour around a bit more :)

Love Melissa and Arnold

PS. yes, that is me rolling with Cava in hand - I love the drinking in public/streets rules. haha
