The Trip is Getting Closer!

---

I'm still down at Xavier and I am dying for this semester to end! This is my last week of classes and I have finals next week. I wish I didn't have to concentrate on finals and could do a ton of research for Spain.

I bought a lot of travel books on Spain, maps, a grammar workbook, and several children's fairy tales in Spanish to help me refresh. I don't have a Spanish class this semester and I'm a little worried. Once you get to the Unversity of the Basque Country (where I'm taking classes), you have to take a placement exam, so they put you in the correct level. I do not want to be in a too-easy class just because I made some simple grammar mistakes.

I've been looking at pictures and reading all about the history of San Sebastian. It is a beautiful city, right on the Atlantic coast, centered around a gorgeous bay with aqua water! Also right outside the city are mountains, which you can travel to the top to get a spectacular view of the city. I will post some picture I found and give you a link to the unversity's web page, but it is in Spanish, but you can poke around if you want to.

That's all for now!

San Sebastian is in the north, on the Atlantic Ocean, right by the border of France

The University is in the West, just a view blocks from the Bay.

The water looks amazing! I can't wait to swim in it.

Here is an idea of the architecture and the city.
