| I guess it's official. I'm going to be having lunch at Akelaŕe when I visit San Sebastian in the Basque!
So, this is just a tiny peak at what is to come for this summer while I'm abroad:
On the weekend of July 19th - 21st I will be traveling to San Sebastian to do some research on culinary preservation in the Basque.
As you can see, we (my sister and me) have made a reservation for a tasting menu for lunch at 3 Michelin star restaurant, Akelaŕe! After that, we'll get settled in the apartment we rented out for the weekend, explore San Sebastian until we get hungry again, eat, and then get ready for a Pintxos Bar Crawl! I wonder how much my mom will be able to drink...
On Saturday, I'll be going to the Basque Culinary Center for a tour of the school in the morning :)

After that, we'll be off to Axpe for lunch at Asador Etxebarri.
In the evening, once we get hungry again (or thirsty for that matter), we will have dinner at Sidreria Petritegi and have unlimited glasses of cider until midnight - a cab is definitely going to be needed - because (as my sister said) we are in it to win it!
Our last day will be Sunday, July 21st, and our delicious weekend will end with a tour and tasting of txacoli at Txomin Etxaniz and lunch at Elkano in Getaria.
After all of that, it's off to the train station and back to Alcala for me. But, wow, so much to look forward to on this one weekend and there are still so many other weekends to plan! I can't believe that literally a month after today (or I guess I should say yesterday) I will be leaving to study abroad and do things like this on my weekends and call it "research!"
I seriously can't wait.
P.S.: Thank you to my sister, Sophie, for helping me put all of this together! I couldn't do it without her.
De nada! We aren't touring Txomin Etxaniz that day anymore, though, because they can't do tours on Sundays. Working on finding a txacoli vineyard that will suffice before our Elkano lunch!
