Trip To Europe Part 2

Part 2
This is round two of the exploration around Europe. Although for most of our trip we were in San Sebastian, Spain, we also had a fun day trip to France. The drive to the border was about 15 minutes but to the towns we went to it was about a 45 minute drive. How nice would that be? Oh just a weekend in France no big deal! We went to two beautiful towns. First stop Bayonne! This city/town was incredible. It was on a river and reminded me a little bit of Venice. The beautiful chapel and stacked building gave us a reassuring sweetness of "Holy crap we are in Europe!" We were still in Basque Country just in France. For lunch we stopped from some crepes and headed to stop number two! The second and last stop of the day was Biarritz! What a fantastic place! I speak for both for me and Jaci when I say that one day I will one day live here. This beauty sits on the water with a beautiful view of the Spanish coast. Everyone speaking french and fabulous views makes this my number one favorite spot on earth. Hope you have enjoyed learning a little bit about our Thanksgiving get away!

Trip to Europe Part 1

Hello! Me and Jaci have been very busy doing this and that but thought it was way over due to post a blog post! Recently we visited Spain on a trip with a fun day to France. This trip was fantastic and would love to go back right now. We were there over the week of Thanksgiving tell the Basque people about American traditions and well visit the beautiful Basque county. The Basque people are a diverse group of wonderfulness (is that a word... I don't think so). We stayed four days in San Sebastian, Spain. This is one of the most unbelievably beautiful places I have ever been. On the coast with a large about of modern and old architecture. While in San Sebastian we worked at a school, Santa Teresa, we worked there 3 days and it was amazing learning the students culture and the diversity though their everyday lives. Also the was a couple from the states, very close from where we live that have moved to San Sebastian five years ago. To explain what they do it very complex so we will simplify it, they have some form of foreign exchange program working with the Basque people and teaching English. English is a heavily need tool in the area. Mandy and Kevin had two beautiful girls and were a pleasure to get to know. The place we stayed was a 3 floor apartment because there was eight of us. The view from the roof was breathtaking. Here let us show you.

On Thanksgiving we joined the Basque people working with Kevin and Mandy. The meal was at the Basque Culinary Institute, so it was a fancy Thanksgiving but still had a homie feeling. Everyone was an incredible story after another. Most likely our best Thanksgiving yet. 

• Here are some photos from Spain. We will do the France day in a different post maybe later this week. 

xoxo we love you San Sebastian
