Estoy en la ciudad de Bilbao con Miguel---- y es muuuuuyyyyy bonita y fantastico!!!! Estoy enamorado con Espana!!!!!
It's our 4th day here and everything has been great so far. Besides our 6 hour delay in Frankfurt, Germany.
The dorm is nice, kind of small, but nice. And we have been cooking some good meals- Mike cooks most of the big stuff. Chicken the other night was great! We made friends with the man at the fruteria down the block, so I'm sure we'll be getting produce from him a lot.
We've gone on a few excursions too-- Tuesday we went on a tour of Bilbao and they also showed us around the University of Deusto. Then, yesterday we traveled by bus to Balmaseda and Portugalete, historical towns in Biscay. Our lunches on these excursions have been 3 course meals- Lunch is huge- the most important meal of the day. Then from about 1 to 3pm everything closes down for the 'siesta'. Everyone goes home for a nap and eats lunch around 2:30. So different from back home-- we're all starving by noon here.
We just got back from the Guggenheim Museum, which is right across the river from our university. Very cool museum, but after like an hour and a half, we were Guggenheimed out. Took a walk over to Zubierta (a mall down the street) and decided against the Spanish McDonalds and Burger King, and had some bogus Bocatta sandwiches. Shoulda gone with the McD's. I'm sure we'll be back there again for the rebajas! (sales!)
Time for a siesta--- hasta luego....
