a boy in a candy store

Hey everyone... internet has been an interesting challenge... the posts will definitely be more consistent once i establish a wifi (pronounced "wefe in espanol) connection in the apartment. I have a couple of posts saved on my computer about my first few days... those will be up soon, hopefully. But for now, a quick update:
I'm in san sebastian! The grandest fiesta of the year begins tonight. The whole city takes to the streets to bang on drums either dressed as chefs or spanish soldiers... one can easily see the connection. Undoubtedly very rowdy, very loud and very fun... and the city is incredible! Pictures are on their way shortly. The guys and I strolled the city, sipped a cafe con lache and were undoubtedly labeled tourists by many passers by... with our cameras and googli eyes and our numerous 'wow's. The whole experience is still so surreal.  Can't wait see what tonight has in store! Adios!... for now. 

ps. looks like Spain (for obvious reasons) victoriously snatched the popular vote with... two votes... out of five... awesome

Terrific Blog! You have a way of putting me into the action with you. Good pics too. Keep at it! --I vote again for Ireland.
(BTW in a couple of places it should be "she" not "her" -- who else would tell you that!)
Love -- Dad
