euskal jaiak

"this........
                 is the     
 best day 
            of the year"


maialen is one of our new students


that is what our student told us when we saw her during the annual Basque festival called: Euskal Jaiak. these pictures are now almost a month old, but i thought that you'd enjoy seeing how Basque people celebrate and remember their culture. it was so fun to walk around, meet up with friends and students, and be a part of this cool festival. next year, we plan on dressing up as well so we don't stick out so badly like we did this year!

    What fun!
    Is that a specifically Zarautz fiesta?
