Getaria and finals

We left this morning for the nearby village of Getaria, where Elkano left to sail around the world.  We hiked the beautiful Mount Anton.  We then returned for our final exams.  Some boys then went to the beach while others went to check out Chillida's sculptures and an old amusement park with a view.

Kayaking, Gastronomic society and class

We started with a morning kayaking in the beautiful Concha beach of San Sebastian.  We had a great time getting to the island and trying to tip each other over on the way back.  Unfortunately, our only camera got wet through its Lifeproof case and, as of now, we have no photos.  We then met up at a gastronomic society, a place where only men gather to cook, sing and socialize.  A professional cook showed us how to make a series of pintxos, basque tapas, including the famous Gilda.  We then had late afternoon classes and enjoyed a good chunk of a Spanish comedy about a man from Sevilla falling love with a Basque woman and their cultural differences.

Basque history and Surfing

Today we had a very interesting tour of a museum of Basque history and culture.  The boys then had a treasure hunt through the museum and the old part of town.  In the afternoon, the boys had a 2 hour surfing lesson in Spanish where they tried the waves of Zurriola beach.
