Hello readers! This is day 3 of my "Spooner In Spain" blog, this morning dad woke me up and told me to take a shower, and get some fresh clothes on, I did, and we went to the downstairs part of the hotel we were staying at. We had some very brief breakfast, then hightailed it to the local museum. We were there for about an hour an saw some amazing paintings and sculptures. Then we left and we walked to a really fun food market where we had some pinchos (peen-choose)and some fabulous tortilla de camerones (tore-teeyas deh cam-er-owns). Then we made our way over to a little stand where I had - in my opinion - the world's best cup of hot chocolate! I also had two twisty churro's to go with it! The churro's weren't as sweet as I expected, but if you dip it in the hot chocolate, it was delicious!!! After that, we bought a few other things and left. Once we left, we walked around part of the city for a while, looking for a good place to stop, let out feet rest, and have some lunch. Eventually we found one, ordered some dishes, and found out that Miss's purse was stollen. It had her cell phone, her passport, her credit cards, our train tickets, and some other important things. She was pretty upset. That was a chain reaction to a whole bunch of unfortunate events including, the train being full, us having to rent a car, my dad's computer dying, and our car chargers not working properly. We were pretty tense for a few kilometers. But we all moved on. My next post will be up once I get to San Sebastian. Until then, this is Spooner In Spain!!!
P.S. - We had a 5 hour drive from Madrid to San Sebastian, and for dinner I had a hot dog called a "hot dog.com." It was a hot dog that had bacon, cheese, and fried onions, I left out the onions and replaces them with ketchup and some mustard. :-)
This kid is awesome. Total nightmare of a day - and he was the picture of poise, calm & patience. Love this boy.

ReplyDeleteI second Colin on that! It was a tough day - and he didn't complain once! What a trooper! My kind of travel companion.
ReplyDeleteHola Liam! Muy bueno tu blog. Estas sacando muchas fotos? Que es lo que mas te ha gustado del viaje? Los pinchos son riquisimos!
ReplyDeleteHey... I have been to San Sebastian. Great place. Sounds like you are having a blast... Chad (Your mom's cousin).
ReplyDeleteHotDog.coms are supposedly much tastier than those HotDog.nets.
