Retired Gentleman Resting

On the way up to San Sebastian from Puerto Vallarta we stopped in at a little town. Very Spanish in it's architecture and also very hot. This gentleman was resting out of the sun on the steps of the local church. He had a rather nasty sling shot he used to shoot pigeons. This guy was quite the hoot, he spoke no English but that didn't stop him from inviting us to his house across the street. It turns out his place use to the be the local theater back in the days when they used carbon arc projectors. He still had the projectors and all kinds of other stuff packed away.

Ah, yes, Donostia San Sebastain if I remember correctly a little along the Northern Spain coast from Santander. Hot and high contrast, with plenty of local characters. Did he eat the pigeons?
Regards,
John.
