San Sebastian!

With the hope that I’ll ever catch up to the present and be able to blog about things I’ve actually done within the past few days, I’ll continue the trend of LOTS OF PICTURES and NOT A LOT OF WRITING.

The first weekend of Spain we went on a journey to San Sebastian. I took pictures…at least…. until my camera battery died. (That was exceedingly dumb of me.) It was wonderful! Of course, I’d been there before, but they remodeled the aquarium slightly, and we also went up allllll the way up the stairs/MOUNTAIN to the fortress. It was a perilous climb. You’ll just have to imagine it because, obviously, my camera battery died.

Here are some of the pictures I did take! (Please note that we woke at 5:45 to catch a bus to the beach town to find it rainy/more than slightly overcast. But yes. 5:45 waking times =  Sleepy Cassie with a funny hair thing. Lord knows what’s going on.)

There’s a merrygoround on the boardwalk around “La Concha”. Dad, I took this picture for you!

Hey look! More proof that I have friends!

La concha as seen from the aquarium window. I heart La Concha.

Jellyfish! Adooorrrrrable. They just swam round and round in their little tank that was backlit blue.  The life of a jellyfish must be pretty simple. Maybe a little bit boring? Probably.

El rey tiburon! This shark is massively intimidating. He’d swim right up to the edge of the glass and right as you thought he was gonna bump into it, he’d swish up and into the part of the tank that must have been above us but not visible. Like I said. Massively intimidating. Loads of teeth.

And then leopard sharks. Not so intimidating but still very cool. They sort of hung out in this part of the tank, right above the rounded walkway.

And then we saw more fish!

And mooooooooooore fish!

And moooooooore fish that didn’t actually look like fish but were still very very cool. They were called “Musical note” fish or something of the sort, probably because they look like the thing you put on top of a whole note on the staff in order to make it a half note/quarter/etc.

But yes. Ridiculous looking right?
