More fun foods from San Sabastian
An outstanding meal at Arzak (the # 9 ranked restaurant in the world). Juan Mari Arzak is one of the most innovative chefs in the world, pushing the limits of New Basque cuisine. We were lucky enough to get reservations just one day in advance...luckier yet to be served our first course by Mr. Arzak himself!

The Views and Flavors of San Sabastian
The town is laid out along Playa de Concha, a nice beach in a protected harbor.
Tapas by another name... in this case they are Pintxos and the are unbelievable. An "out of body" eating experience. Something akin to being transformed into a giant, then having the worlds best chefs prepare a 9 course meal which you (being a giant) can consume in 2 or 3 life changing bites. Food will never be this good again.
The giant statue of Christ which overlooks the town.

The consumption - term two finals
We have been in a week of intensive study. This was finals week of term two and it consumed our lives. The second term is known for being the most difficult term and it lived up to its reputation. Everyday an exam... every night a cramming session for the next. It was the most challenging academic experience of my life.
Even still I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it not only for the intellectual challenge, but also for the bonding moments with classmates. I enjoyed it because I learned more from my counterparts than I learned from my professors. Every late hour, every borrowed slice of pizza, every tired, exhausted explanation of economic or quantitative theory provided the purpose for why we are here. We are here for each other.
It was the finals week for term two. It was the reason why we are here.
