And then we caught the rainbow

LAs I hinted in my previous blog, since we had some bait left from our fishing trip to Zumaia, yesterday looked like another fishing journey. And so it was, only that this time, since the weather was a bit rare, we decided to stay nearby and so we headed for our hometown, Saint Peter. It has not a great jetty, but the promenade has just been renewed recently and there is plenty of space to hang around.

The first couple of hours were a bit boring (at least for those fishing, because I brought my usual stuff: book, music, pen and paper and made myself comfortable to catch some breeze) but then the sky covered and we had a weird and really short downpour, after which my fellow fishers made some nice catches :)

The stones of the promenade were so hot, that in some 5 minutes they were dry. So shortly afterwards, I was lying down again and I realized that there was a beautiful rainbow in Saint John. It started right where my dad lived when he was young and arched until it was lost behind Jaizkibel mountain. If you watch it carefully, you could notice that there are two rainbows, one over the other. I've seen two rainbows a lot of times, and once in Ireland, I even saw three of them, but unfortunately one of them was a bit apart so I couldn't take a picture of the 3 of them altogether :( It was a nice sky though. I gotta search for that picture *takes mental note*

In sum, itwas a fine day, quiet and spent among friends. We didn't really need more to feel happy. Here are some pictures:

This is Pasaia Bay, Saint John at the left, Saint Peter at the right. The orange line shows the distance that my dad used to swim naked :lol: The green line shows his house, at the back of a church (loads of stories to be told there too) :wink:


Saint Peter, and our designated spot to go fishing:
