We arrived in San Sebastian on June 28th from Santander. We took an afternoon bus, so we got into San Sebastian that evening. It took a while, but we found a nice pension called Pension Comercio; we recommend it if you ever visit.
San Sebastian is in Basque Country (Pais Vasco) on the northern coast, northeast from Santander and close to the French border and the French city of Biarritz. The Basque people are unique in a lot of ways. In addition to speaking Spanish, the Basque have their own language called Euskara. Its origin cannot be traced to any other language. Also, some Basque have a unique mitochondrial DNA that is shared only with some of the Berbers in North Africa and, I believe, some inhabitants of the Canary Islands. One exotic theory contends that those carrying this unique DNA are descendants from Atlantis. Another is that they are descendants of Neanderthal man.

Exactly. Good call.
Me and Princess Leia are thinking about hitting the glactic superhighway in the winter with Han Solo and Chewie and staying with you guys for a few weeks. Maybe we'll all like it so much that we can rent a big house and have parties with senoritas drinking maragritas all the time. Whaddaya say?
I think they are descendants from your Mom!!
BRONCS RULE!!!!
