Okay guys, how do you use this 'outside' urinal????? There are no doors, and this was for an outdoor "Alternative" concert. Hmmm, you should see the band....

The next shot and the last one of me in the lovely rain coat, are in our Parador in Hondarribia. The third shot is the cute little town. It was a good, but long trip over, we flew Business/Elite (definitely a must), and then took the 'renfe' to the train station, and then took another overnight 'renfe' to San Sebastian (we were now traveling for two full days, and very, very tired). We waited around in a shopping mall parking lot (in the rain) until the car rental opened, and after scowling at some guy who bullied his way in front of us, ended up with a car that looked like it had been in a demolition derby!!! It was great, because it was already banged up, we didn't have to worry at all about how we parked it, it had dents and scratches so we just toodled around and didn't worry about those little parking spaces. Plus after those lunches with vino, and 'agua sin gas' Jorge's driving was probably a little off...

Here are a few images of the first place we went. We were in a little town called "Hondarribia" outside of San Sebastian on the water. The two inside pictures are of the "Parador" we stayed in (an old Castle), the outside color pictures are some of the colorful town itself, I don't think I have ever seen a town with so many colored buildings and decorated with flowers, it was a beautiful place. The black and white is Jorge in another town, but I liked the picture.

Still trying to figure out what this means, but I thought it sounded good. I'll get some pictures of Spain up today or tomoorrow. It was a great trip.
