San Sebastian for the day


On Saturday, Jan. 23rd a bunch of people from our program in the University (called CIDE) went to San Sebastian--and it was beautiful even with the gray over-cast sky. When we first arrived we went to the Information center for a map and then split into groups--and we covered a lot of ground. We climbed Monte Urgull and saw the Statue of Sagrado Corazon. At the top of this mountain was several incredible views of the city and the bay--there are pictures on facebook of them. We saw two beautiful cathedrals. On the other side of the bay (across from Monte Urgull) was a funicular that took us to the top of Monte Igueldo. Another place with gorgeous views of the city. In the middle of the bay is an island that is shaped like a turtle--even though the trees and such weren't green on it--it was still a beautiful sight.
