Happy Birthday Ann

We took Ann (the lady we live with) out last night to celebrate her birthday. We went to Ann’s sister’s bar down in the central part of San Sebastian. It’s an Irish Bar, called The Auld Dubliner. Ann’s two sons met us there and we had a great time! Ann introduced us to our new favorite drink: a Kalimotxo (pronounced Callie Mocho). It’s a delightful concoction of half coca cola and half red wine over ice. They are also very cheap! We had quite a few and finished out the night eating chicken, salad, and French fries! We somehow got caught in a terrible down pour of rain that started sometime while we were eating. Although we had our umbrellas (a necessity here), I mistakenly had worn flip flops that have absolutely no traction. The walk to the bus stop was a slippery one and I almost fell numerous times (from the wet ground… not from the Kalimotxos)! On the way to the bus stop, we encountered the strangest fountain I have ever seen. On the top was a statue of a little baby boy strangling a duck! We have some pictures we took with Ann but they are on her camera. I'll add them when I can!
