June 14

The weather couldn't have been better with a light breeze and temperatures in the low 80s.  The Fullers wanted to walk up the mountain so we let them do just that - without us.  Pat & I walked across the river bridge at the train station and wandered the streets of the city on that side.  The architecture all around Spain is varied, intricate and very interesting.  We eventually reached the surfing beach and it was packed due to the fine weather.  We went back across the river, explored the fish & meat market and had a pintxos lunch.  There is such a variety of pintxos that it's impossible to try them all in less than a few visits and all that we tried were delicious.  We then took a leisurely stroll back to the hotel and, eventually, Sue knocked on our door and said they were going to the beach.  We met them at the beach a few minutes later and the Fullers all went in for a swim, but we declined to get so frozen, so we took pictures.  Will is just 15 and this was the first time he had been to a beach where a good portion of the women, both young & old, are topless.  We couldn't get him to comment on what he thought.  Later we returned to the restaurant where we ate the previous night, had another good menu meal and went back to bed because of an early departure the next morning.
