Last Night in San Sebastian

This is my last post from San Sebastian. Russell and I are killing the "middle of the day lull" by playing on the Internet. Many of the shops and sights shut down between 2:00 and 5:00. Of course, they are then open late into the night, so it all works out.

Today we went to the San Sebastian Aquarium. It was fairly small, but really well put together. They had a good number of interesting fish, the displays were well set up, and there was an underwater tube you could walk through. Russell and I really enjoyed it. Since it was a particularly wet Saturday, the aquarium was full of children. This had the drawback of being incredibly noisy, and the advantage of being quite entertaining in terms of eves-dropping. It was interesting how some kids could be completely fascinated by the fish, and others could be utterly terrified.

After lunch, we also got Russell a haircut. We had spotted a nice barber shop the day before, but it was closed Saturday. Instead we found another place nearby. I think more hair came off than stayed on. He was badly in need of a trim.

Tonight we're going to go Tapa hunting again and probably end things early. We have to leave for the bus tomorrow at 6:00am. Bleh.
