Well, as it happens, it gets hot here, very hot...I had this thought/hoped that the north of Spain was exempt.
Yesterday we decided to go to the small town of zubieta ("thubieta" if you want to speak like a spaniard).
We went to play fronton, a basque style racquetball/squash game.
We were probably there on the hottest day of the year and it was so hot we just couldn't do anything. The babies were crying and we had to drench them in water. Big mistake to leave the house.
Lucky for us they fell asleep in the car and Kepa had the honor of driving them around for the entirety of their nap.
Today, we were smart!
We went to an area called Aralar where we went for a hike and had a nice picnic. The babies slept in the car on the way there making the walk and picnic a pleasant outing. It was much cooler in Aralar:)
From there, We went to a small town of lekumberri where they have an old "rail to trail" pathway and a "camping".
Lucky for us, there were toys and things to play we in the shade. Exploring with babies is different, very different. -I now have first hand experience as to the whole new dimension of what makes a nice place to go.
Anyway, it was a smart move because we got away from the heat and humidity of San Sebastián! Phew!
Above, you can see a photo of the old buildings in town and a sweet little garden.
Twins!!!
