Bonjour

So we took the overnight train from San Sebastian back to Paris, a trip that normally takes 6 hours but overnight took 12. Not really sure how that worked but we were definitely going backwards part of the time. Before we slipped out of town Sara, the trooper that she is, sat on the beach with al of our stuff while I attempted to surf. Although the waves were big, the wind eliminated any real chance of surfing. We caught lunch at our favorite restaurant so far in Europe, the Caravanserai by the big church, the only repeat so far on the trip. The day before we hiked to the old castle and to see Christo at the top, and did it again for good measure after we accidentally deleted our photos for the day (ahem!). The people we stayed with were very nice and very high energy, and they ensured that we had a great time. Back to the train ride, we were the only room in our car that had anybody in it. Demetrius (a French military special forces paratrooper), Sara, and I played gin rummy late into the night and then slept surprisingly well and awoke in Paris. Here we are, with a few sites to see, looking forward to next week in the Netherlands.

A bientot,

Arthur
