It has been 3 days since I landed in San Sebastian, and I have been enjoying the great weather, wonderful food, and splendid views. However, after a sleepless first flight and uncomfortable second flight, I had been left feeling tired, exhausted, and just out of it, even after getting some proper sleep in my hotel room for two days. That is why on Wednesday morning I decided to sleep a little later than usual and attempt to regain my lost energy. I got out of bed at around 11:00 in the morning, got dressed, and began heading out into the city to meet up with my pintxo tasting group. I took my time walking thorough the city, enjoying the wonderful sight of the beach and the ocean before I began exploring some of the numerous shops and Cafés. 

Eventually I made it to the old part of San Sebastian where I was to meet up with my pintxo tasting group, but I had arrived with plenty of time to spare. I walked into this sweet and quaint little store that was filled with fresh produce. I walked around the store a bit looking at all the fruits, veggies, beans, some jars of jam, and much more. I eventually decided to buy a nice big water bottle for the day. The old lady at the counter thankfully spoke English, though I did try to and was sweet, even offering me some extra tea in a little cup and another free drink at another of her stores. I have yet to visit it and get that free drink, but I will though. 

Anyways, after I finished paying for everything, I went down to Haizea to meet up with the rest of the pintxo tasting tour group. I was early, the first one there besides Mr. Zabalbeascoa. As I waited for the rest of the group to arrive, I could feel the anticipation and excitement start to well up inside me. I had already tried some pintxos beforehand but knowing that Mr. Zabalbeascoa was going to be ordering the best pintxos for us to try had me feeling extra gluttonous. I had to pull out my phone and start playing Angry Birds just to calm down a little bit. Eventually, everyone pulled up and we began feasting on pintxos. We had the classic pintxo, Gilda, which surprised me with its strong and acidic aftertaste, but I still enjoyed it. We had another bacalao based pintxo before we moved onto bar hopping. We had so many pintxos, and each one was good. By the time we had finished the tour, we were all totally stuffed. I had to go play some basketball just to feel less like a big back.
