Here! I'm off to sunny Spain!

Took the ship for a long weekend in the Basque Country. Had my first cappucino. My first olive. First time I was rescued from a windsurfer (no wind - current took me away). First time I even fell asleep in a night club because I had not slept for three days. Wonderful time.
