This weekend I and Lise traveled once again to San Sebastian or Donostia that is its name in Basque. First we watched the winner of the film festival in the category Horizontes Latinos. It was a Brazilian movie named the 12 workers and it was really great. Then Lise and I bought some food and beers and went down to the beach to watch the sunset wile eating.
After our picnic, we took of to a bar to watch Atletico Bilbao play against Barca. There we talked to some nice middle-aged women that was going out to dance and was treated beers by an older gentleman. After the game we went to the old parts of San Sebastian were most of the bares and discothèques are and to meet up with the friends of Lise. There we partied thru the night, and then slept in the house of a girlfriend to a friend to Lise.
The day after we "Fuimos de pinxos" went to different bares and ate pinxos/tapas. We had met a girl from Germany on the way to the centre so she went to. 
After eating we went to the wonderful beach and had a swim amongst the big waves that was really strong. It was exiting to play along the waves but also a little scary for me, "la gallina" the chicken, but you could also swim out little further to avoid the waves and just relax in the water.
Yea.. and I forgot we also eat some really nice ice-cream in the sun before going to the beach. I had one with yogurt and strawberries.. soo nice
After the beach the German girl went to find a place to stay and the two friends of Lise went of on their own. And me and Lise took a coffee at a café and the wandered around the city. We found a amusing store with a lot of things, a lot from Ecuador, and Lise bought a pair of earrings made of wood and a bag typical from here. And I bought a dream-catcher to have over my bed, as a souvenir, good, luck and for decoration. :-)
And then we went home. But I definitely recommend the city, it is beautiful and has a lot of bares, to eat pinxos or to party. But it is really popular and especially in the summer there are a lot of people there, sometimes maybe to many..
This Friday before going to San Sebastian. We went to the party of the neighborhood, Urribarri, where Lise lives. There were concerts and bares on the streets. It was really an experience, but I was tired after class and was taking it easy because we were leaving for San Sebastian in the morning, so I took the last metro home at 2.
Hope you all also had a nice weekend as I did!!
