Bay of Biscay

My run took me along the coast of the Bay of Biscay. How awesome is that? We drove to San Sebastian yesterday after Bilboa, but it was so crowded and scooters were parked everywhere. We think maybe a festival was going on there or something, but how do you even start to look for a hotel or parking or anything when it's jammed with people. So we drove back to Zaurtz which is a little resort surf town and it was perfect. Our hotel was 2 blocks from the beach and this beach was the most used beach I've ever seen. There were hundreds of people in the water and hundreds along the shore. When we saw it Sun evening there was about 6 feet of shore and people were everywhere. But on Mon. when we went body surfing (we tried) there weren't that many people yet and the tide was way way way out. It was a very flat beach. Weston tried to surf. He says his balance isn't so great, but I saw him get up and ride the little ones in. I could have stayed there a long time, but we had to get the rental car back. Northern Spain is definitely more beautiful, but Burgos feels like home. The north is where the Basque people are from and they have their own language. Their written language reminds me of the Jerry Seinfeld skit on foreign taxi drivers with the name tags with all the extra letters on it.
