Volleyfutbol

Today, the weather was vastly improved in San Sebastian and we decided to do our favorite walk along all three beaches in the city. As we expected, many other people were out enjoying the good weather after what has been an unusually cold and rainy winter (and for San Sebastian, that is really saying something). Along with many adorable dogs on the beach, we saw what we consider to be about as European as you can get: four guys playing 2-on-2 volleyball, but using the rules of futbol (i.e., soccer). They were impressively only hitting the ball with their feet, legs, chests and heads. You probably won't see that in Santa Monica!

Of course we have pictures. Here, the guy on the left is serving (using a mound of sand as a tee):

Here, the guy at the net is executing a perfect bicycle kick to drop the ball gently over the net for a point.

It was a great day!

Hasta luego,
