Mon 23 Jun- Hospital visit

Mon 23 Jun- we ordered coffee with hot milk from room service and ate the sweet rolls. It's a satisfying breakfast, and the service was coffee in a silver thermos and milk in fine china, plus two pastries.
Today was another adventure getting the PT/INR test for Stan. The local clinic across from the hotel could not do the test, so we went to Hospital Donostia, San Sebastian's main hospital. Fortunately a bus went right from the hotel to the hospital for E1.20, so we didn't bother driving; and just as well - the parking at the hospital was scarce. We were sent to three different departments before the Urgent Care/Emergency clinic finally agreed to do the test. It was a matter of documentation and paperwork, not ability to do the test. Finally when it was done, they could not figure out how to bill me, so they sent me away with the results! It was only about 3 hours, hotel to hotel, and actually pretty smooth, considering the language differences.
We had lunch at the hotel's Saigon Restaurant (www.cafesaigon.es), and oriental food is their specialty: 2 KELER 18 beers; mixed sushi/sashimi, E18; prawns in green curry, E12; fried oriental vegetables, E7; total E42. It was as good or better than the food we got in old town, and in a very elegant dining room with nice decor and ambience, with just a few other diners.
In the evening, we took a walk to the local mercado, bought pastry for tomorrow and wine for tonight, plus potato chips cooked in olive oil, and artichoke hearts. We walked along the promenade a while, noticing how many people of all ages were out, from little kids to old folk, commenting how different from Portugal, where everyone seemed to disappear in the evening.
