Rita and I went to see the beautiful old city of San Sebastian. The sky was overcast that day but it was a weekend, and we hate to waste those at home.
Up on the hill, across the bay from the city, is an old fortification - some low walls and old cannon left behind from some of Spain's many conflicts.
The view of the Bay of Biscay was just wonderful.
But it started to get a little windy.
And then it got very windy!
So we headed down the hill and across the bridge to see the city be fore the weather got too bad. San Sebastian has a huge, amazing church, the Good Shephard Cathedral, or as they call it, Cathedral del Buen Pastor. It sits snugly in the middle of town.
There is a poignant statue of Saint Sebastian on the front of the Basilica of Saint Mary.
Actually, there seemed to be a cathedral everywhere we looked, and we enjoyed them all.
At this point, "overcast" turned to rain. A light rain, just enough to need the umbrella that Rita had the forethought to bring along.
