Rain, Rain go away.....BB King is Playing today!

---

It has been a very uneventful last couple days here in San Sebastian full of a misty constant rain and ducking into shops to avoid the sudden down pours. Every local we have talked to says the same thing " El tiempo de este verano no es normal por el verano, es muy malo". For those who don't speak Spanish they keep telling us how terrible the weather is, yup, got it I am standing in it right now and that it is not normal weather to their typical summers....well do we get a discount then?

With much trepidation Seth and I stepped out to the beach with dark looming clouds to meet up with some of his fellow students to play some sand soccer, it poured rain on us twice, then stopped, so we continued playing for 2.5 hours back and forth between playing and juggling circles. It was then time to retire to the apartment shower and make dinner as the Jazzaldia 2011 is in San Sebastian, a huge Jazz festival with many free concerts and stages set up all over the city. The best stage just happens to be right on Zurrolia beach a couple blocks from our apartment.

We ate, and then on to a free BB King concert on the beach, mad some new Belgium friends and enjoyed a night of free music, sand in our toes and a background of waves crashing. Even the weather ceased fire for BB King to play before striking again shortly after...What a great night!
