Sure, under those condition, not necessarily good on the eyes,  I have no 
doubt
that you did see a spot or two.  Actually I think here in the past few days a 
new
group of rather active and large spots has formed on the suns surface.  There 
are many interesting web sites on the subject with near real time images of 
the sun's
surface as view by SOHO.  Check em out and I bet you'll find the spot you saw,
imaged by SOHO.
