touchdown

Well, we were sad to say our goodbyes to magical Asturias for this year... but at the same time we were excited to get to Bizkaia and spend time with family and friends and do all things Basque (i.e. eat, drink and be merry) once again!



First stop: Gallarta, to stay for a few days with Abuela and Uncle Nacho :)



Nora was eager to see her "Irish cousins" again, so Luis, Saioa and the girls came over from Donosti for the day!


And Uncle Javier came as well...

with cousin Oliver, who seems to have suddenly turned into a grown-up!
Of course, the playground in Gallarta received a few visits from us. The boys played happily in the summer sun, under the watchful eye of Dolores, la pasionaria.
Friends were made and races were run...


That Sunday after lunch, we took an afternoon trip to Getxo... with Luis and their gang in their fancy new car ;)

... across the Puente de Bizkaia hanging bridge,

... to Algorta's Ereaga beach.

Ice-cream from Aberasturi, of course :)


mmmm

a walk on the beach...
and along the seafront...


...to the playground!!


While some were swinging on swings, Maia was just chilling on the grass...


Cute or what?
