| The marina in San Sebastian was located in the heart of the town�s historical district. On Christmas day, we attended Christmas church services at the same church Christopher Columbus and his men prayed at before setting off on their first voyage across the �unknown� Atlantic in 1492. Although the church had been rebuilt a couple of times since the period of Columbus, the church still retained its 15th century Spanish architecture. On New Year�s Eve, the town welcomed in the new year, first with fireworks at midnight and then afterwards with dancing and entertainment in the town�s square until sunrise. As our boat was close to all the festivities, we had little sleep that night. |
