ok, so corellia took off friday, so no news on a car rental.......one would think after the last car rental that such things would have no interest- but after studying the guide books there are many places 'on the way' that would be neat to see- we could see the roman ruins at tarragona on the way to bilbao, for instance. we would also want to jettison the car at the madrid airport before venturing into town- i'll not do a big city in a car again.........i have downloaded several articles about st. sebastian- i had forgotten that hemingway set part of the sun also rises in this town it appears to be close to bilbao, as does the original town of guernica, which was bombed by the germans in 1939 as a favor to franco.....so many options, so little time.....
