Bordeaux to San Sebastian

After we left Clive and Diana, we took the train to Bordeaux, which was thankfully much less eventful! We arrived in the town, which is situated along a river with lots of awesome architecture, fountains, cathedrals, and squares everywhere! We got a good little hotel and spent two nights there. We spent our days wandering around and enjoying our time to hang out. We noticed that every other store was selling these things called 'macarons', so finally we decided to buy some - they're soooo good!! All these different flavors of almond paste (i think) encoated with a merengue (i think). Anyways, those were fun! We had some great food and had a lot of fun ordering completely in French!! We were thinking of renting a car to explore the coast, but it was really expensive, and there were no waves at the moment anyways, so we decided to just get the train to San Sebastian.
We got to San Sebastian in the early afternoon on Friday, and found a hostel that had a room available and stayed there. As we were walking around in the evening we noticed that everywhere had tapas, little appetizer things sitting on the counter at every bar. That night we tried it out - you take a plate and load it up with whatever you want, and then pay for it later. It's pretty fun, but I don't know how they eat dinner after that!!
Actually, one night we did have an actual dinner instead of tapas, but we felt pretty sick afterwards. The next day we decided we were only going to eat 'Raw' - fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc., and give our stomachs a little break. It worked great for me, and I felt much better, although Jordi was ready for 'real food' by about 10 am! Since then we have consciously tried to incorporate fruits and fiber into our diet, which is not very convenient, but has been really good! :)
We stayed in San Sebastian for 4 nights. One day it was hot and sunny, so we got to swim and hang out at the beach. One day we hiked to the Jesus Statue and took a run along the river. One day there was swell, so we rented boards and went surfing. And every day there were tapas and people singing in the streets til 3 AM. Spain is one big party town!! On Sunday there was some sort of huge festival - so many people on the boardwalks that you felt like you were in a moshpit! And yet we never did figure out what the big deal was; besides tons of people, there wasn't really an indication of the occassion!
We went to the car rental place in San Sebastian, and it was way cheaper to rent a car from there, so we did! It's a little black hatchback, stick shift, deisel, and awesome! :)
We rented the car on Tuesday, and decided to go back into France and drive up the coast, hoping to find some waves :)
