Friends of F. graciously took us to a nature preserve to go bird watching yesterday. It is time for the migration from Nordic countries to Africa for the winter, and the birds pass right over the Pyrenees, and they love this park, which is situated...next to an airport, of all things. The cool bird photos were taken by Igor L. at
Plaiaundi. We saw egrets
(garzeta), herons (garza), spoonbills (espátulas-haha!), ospreys (aguila pescador), a duck they call 'eider,' and others-total awesomeness. In the afternoon we walked around Donostia (San Sebastian), where we passed people coming out of a big film festival at the Kursall-only to happen upon a Chagall exhibition that was free to the public.
The cultural life in Donostia is totally ridiculous, and at least one of you will be pleased to know that we located a Mexican restaurant. With enchiladas! Back to the weekly grind, lots of thanks for the great time.
