San Sebastian

Toward the end of July I joined two friends, Jodi and Fran, for a little R&R in San Sebastian. We all really fell in love with this place: great beaches, very laid back, lots of charm, and tapas to die for.

This is the place where Spaniards come to enjoy summertime fun in the sun. I was personally thrilled to visit San Sebastian because it’s in the Basque Country where my family name (and my mother’s family name) comes from. Note: Our family names actually come from nearby Alava, but close enough. Point being, I saw at least a handful of people that were doppelgangers of my real-life Texas relatives!
