Jesus Mountain

What a way to end a looong week. On top of having absolutely astronomical amounts of homework and exams AND the fact that it has been raining cats and dogs nonstop for the past week, the skies finally opened up and this was the result...

First order of business: GELATO. Okay, it may not be the gelato I once had in Italy, but this was the best alternative I have found since I have been in Spain.

Second order of business: Jesus Mountain. A steep hill located right off the coastline facing the main boardwalk of San Sebastian. I guess this

monument was of great representation of what was once a San Sebastian (a military front, situated within medieval walls and a whole bunch of cannons lining the interior. So, why is it that I call it "Jesus Mountain"? Maybe because there is a GINORMOUS statue of Jesus right smack on top of the hill. It also faces the city and gives way to yet another spectacular view. It only took us about 20 minutes to reach the tip-top. It was pretty cool. We passed by several burial grounds (grave yards of English soldiers...if my Euskera is any good, that is what I got from the information boards). We also passed by a couple of jail cells (or hidden caves), abandoned huts, cannons, etc. I never really payed much attention to the history of this place. It is honestly something that never really caught my eye sight or interest. BUT the more I explore this city and the more I find things like this, the more inclined I am to learn. After all, I am living here for the next 5-6 months.

*Side note* it's raining again...i left my clothes out to dry...fuck.
