Hello Everyone!
I haven't had internet time lately so it has been awhile since my last blog-post. I came to a Basque cafe down the street to use their wifi. I came in and there were about 3 other people here casually sitting. Suddenly about 50 people jammed into the tiny place playing various music instruments (accordians, drums, etc) and caroling and carrying big wooden sticks which they bang on the ground as they chant! HA! Today is a holiday (I believe it is called Santa Agreda) and this is the tradition. Everyone has been walking up and down the street doing this today... No worries, I got some pictures. Anyways, so my blog time was interuppted and now I just feel awkward.
I'm having a really wonderful time still. Went to San Sebastian during the weekend...sooooo beautiful-I can't wait for spring here! I will write more when there aren't people chanting all around me. Love you all. Bye!

ReplyDeleteHi Marissa,
ReplyDeleteSports update on the Fighting Illini:
We rank anywhere between 19th and 23rd depending on which poll you are reading. A nasty loss to Wisconsin on Thursday.We play Purdue at home tomorrow. We should be a cinch for the NCAA tourney. Go Illini!
Temperature should make it into the 50's today. Snow melting quickly now.
I see your Mom has flip video now so we can expect great shots of Playa any day now.
Take care...........R&J
Happy Valentine's Day!!!!
