Bilbao

Jen and I traveled to Bilbao yesterday. We had a four day weekend because it's some Spanish holiday. Sadly enough, we haven't been enjoying it to it's fullest potential because it has been RAINING! We took a bus to Bilbao, which was a hour and twenty minute ride through the greenest mountains I have ever seen!! Bilbao is much larger than San Sebastian and has some what of the big city feel about it. We went to the Guggenheim Museum which was bizarre but very neat. In the front of the museum is a giant Puppy made out of flowers! The museum features 3 dimensional art work. In one part of the building is these giant spirals made from metal that you can walk in and out of! After the museum, we walked around the city in the rain. We did a little shopping along the way and stopped at The Corte Ingles, a store with 10 floors of shopping! Bilbao is funny: there is all of these giant metal numbers and words all over the city. I'm not sure what we'll do today. It's raining again and cold!
