I have four concerts on our agenda at this point. One vocal with my favorite group, one orchestral with a favorite conductor, one with my favorite oboist, and an opera I really love. Stay tuned for the big reveals as we go to these events. Needless to say I’m quite excited.

Now I’m figuring out other things, like a dance event and a food tour. I’m sure museums will be on the agenda as well. When I get all these set and when we attend, or are at least in the city in which we will attend them, I’ll post links so others can take advantage of recommendations. (Yes, I’m assuming what we attend will be super and I will recommend them.) I just don’t like to give away our itinerary in advance: I’m silly that way!

I didn’t realize what a food tour would be like until our son Jameson and daughter-in-law Meghan scheduled a tour in Donastia / San Sebastián. There it was pintxos. In some places they will be tapas. In both cases they are absolutely delicious! The tour we took really opened my eyes about what they were about, so I had to schedule one for this trip as well. Weight gain, here I come!

Below is our tour guide with Dan and Meghan, and a photo of the four of us at a table. (I think we visited four places that time, but I can’t remember for sure at the moment.)
