Hola! This one has to be short, since I'm on a tight schedule. San Sebastian is a cool touristy town in the Basque country. There was a bombing in this territory yesterday, but not in my town. The Basque area is interesting, it's a little intimidating at times with this very Eastern-ish architecture, tons of political statements everywhere, and the primary language is truly foreign. At the same time, it's a very vibrant place with a lot of personality. Beaches here are OK, but I've been spoiled by the goodness of Santander on a good day. It's nice to be online here, taking a break from the group I'm traveling with. They're at best very tolerable, and at worst, Greek. But the new people I meet outside my own group are all very cool. Life here has improved. I was extremely uncomfortable for the first week or so here, but I'm very slowly adapting more and more, and each day some things get better and I get a little wiser. I do know one thing:change of plans: I'm coming home July 7th. It's a week early. Once here, I came to the decision that I didn't want to do Paris and London alone. I don't feel bad about it at all, especially considering my mom's jealous of the trip and she wants to travel with me sometime in the near future. Furthermore, while this place is cool and learning Spanish is great, I truly miss all of the wonderful things, places and people that are familiar to me. Much love to all of you!
