The sixth toe......and a lot of other weird happenings

OMGOSH helloooooo!!!

Lets just start this off by saying I am glad to be alive and I love America!! Its the best place ever. haha youre probably wondering why i say this and well ill tell you!
(just a for warning this is going to be a looooooong blog)
So this weekend as you all know me and six of my friends went to San Sebastian, Spain. We arrived around 6:30 am Friday morning. we needed to waste some time until check in at our first hostel so we wandered around trying to find open cafes and hopefully some wifi. we found a few little places but with our luggage and all it was getting to be a pain. we just decided we would go to the first hostel and see if we could leave our bags there and go exploring until our room was ready. This is where we met Skip. he was around 45 years old and from australia originallyso he spoke english haha the best part about him was he was wearing a pair of denim jeans that i so conveniently noticed we darnished with a large poop stain on them. it was lovely. hahaha the next funny thing about skip was that he was a liiiiiiittle off on the information he spouted out to us that morning. he told us everything was 30 minutes away, if we dressed cute we could get into clubs for free, the bus closes at 11:30,  yada yada. we found all these to be completely false! we walked for a good hour and were nowhere near the beach, dressed real cute and got denied at the club, and saw someone taking the bus home at like 3 am. haha ohhhh skip! the best was when we asked him his name finally after talking to him for a long time. he goes "well......(long pause) ...around here....they call me skip" hahaha okay, skip it is! so funny. skip with the skid mark. his hostel was SOOOOO nice tho! like better than a hotel room! it was amazing and we were so happy and shocked! (especially once hostel 2 came along) we all unpacked and got everything ready, took a small nap since we had been traveling thru the night, then woke up and went to explore ..at this point thinking we could walk everywhere in 30 minutes, oh AND it was raining hahaha we found out real fast we could not walk all the way there after stopping for a map and umbrellas. we finally wandered to the aquarium which was the plan for the day because of the drizzling rain. it was sooo pretty and very cool! we did some souvenir shopping and then decided we wanted to order pizza and get ready for the night. the delivery service there was interesting haha but finally we got served pizza! yay! altho it was uncut? at that point we didnt care and dove in like voulchers haha went out that night to a few bars and had fun :) no complaints really. BUUUUUT here is where it gets interesting..
We woke up the next morning and four of us had to move to a different hostel since skip did not have availability saturday night. the second hostel was closer to the beach so we were excited. we take the bus to the area and get off. we have the address, phone number, and directions to this place.
(oh sidenote, in san sebastian they have there own language and do not speak a lot of spanish soooo that was fun haha)
anyway we go to the address listed quite easily and were like sweet, perfect! however there is no sign for the hostel and no answer. so we are like shit what do we do. we ask around for a while and people either dont know, are mean, or cant understand us. we find a tourist info center and go there to ask for directions and they too were mean. so we are like hmm what to do? we just wanna get to the beach asap! haha we decided to go to mcds to use internet and check to make sure the info we have down is correct. a few of us go and a few wait with all the luggage. then some super weird lady comes up asking if we need a hostel and talks to us forever. long story short she has a hostel we can stay at and a number for the hostel that we have booked already so we follow her to call the original hostel owner. things about her tho.. she smells like hell, is wearing a wig, AND has this pinky toe the size of my head that is completely hanging out of her shoe and walking on the ground in unison with her feet. i didnt listen to half of what she said for this exact reason. anyway, somehow we go meet the hostel owner and he tells us our hostel is getting painted or under construction or something? and that we are walking across the street ... TO THE CRAZY TOE LADY HOSTEL! super super sketch. we all about died and are like hellllll noooo! they show us the room and then they begin to fight over our money. we all looked at each other and were just like omg. plus why would the crazy lady (we named her ursella) have this dudes phone number but not know where the hostel was? and why did she give us a number and send us off to meet some guy only to return back to her hostel? like it doesnt make any sense what so ever! Ursella gave us this whole tour of the hostel and let me just tell you this was no normal place. very gross, dirty and eery! tons and tons of old creepy dudes with tats staring like we are pieces of meat and making obscene gestures. she shows us the kitchen where we can "cook" and there are dudes in there smoking weed. um no thanks? ill eat out haha idk what else..just a weird ass fucking place. we try to ignore it and go to the beach all day! it was super close to the hostel and a beautiful day and such a pretty place!! we laid out and relaxed for a while. me and my friend ran into the ocean, altho it was freeeeezing! i was proud tho haha and then we packed up and set off to mount Igueldo..a big mountaint there that over looks the city! we rode this weird train car up there and when we got off, i got goosebumps. this view was magnifiscent! breathtaking like wow. we took a ton of pictures, got a snack and then went to go back down. the day was so much fun! :))) then we come back to and realize we have to go back to this sketch place and shower. um not happening. we make do and get ready to go out. we all eat dinner at this seafood place (i got steak) and then are exhausted from the long day at the beach and mountain. yet none of us want to go to bed because that would mean in the hostel of death. at that time all the panic that has been hiding in all of us comes out and we freak and are like we arent going back there! no way!! never! so we sneak into the first hostel with the other two girls and sleep 6 in the room. i can say i have never loved a person more at this time than skip. i was so thankful for him, his hostel, and his poop stain lol we were quiet all night and snuck out in the morning. perfect :) Sunday we went to the beach again for a while and then a few shops but had to catch the bus back to Madrid around 5. It was a great weekend!!! minus the crazy toe lady and her sketch hostel lol

sidenotes: This story is way better and person! it is almost impossible to type. i left a lot out and its confusing i bet haha so sorry. but dont worry you WILL hear it when i return. with all the details and all the pictures hahah
also: dont freak out, dont worry i am smart and safe! we were probably overly safe by freaking out so much.. but oh well better safe than sorry
and: dont let the crazy hostel experience fool you, i still had a GREAT time in San Sebastian!! it is honestly so beautiful and i loved it :)
