Where to begin?? OH! Bilbao on Saturday, of course! We got up at 5 in the morning, left at 6 to walk to the bus station, and our bus left at 7. At about 9am we arrived in Bilbao, Spain in Pais Vasco. We figured we should go ahead and buy our bus tickets back so that we would all be able to get back on the same bus since there were 9 of us (Amanda, Courtney, Aude, Andrea, Rebeca, Madara, Marta, Therese and myself). Our first adventure was finding somewhere to get breakfast and CAFE! We found a cool little bar to eat at where we got the typical spanish breakfast: tortilla de patatas y cafe con leche. Then we set out to find the Museo Guggenheim. When we got there we took pictures with the huge dog sculpture covered in flowers outside while Aude made fun of us for taking pictures of absolutely everything. Once in the museum we got what looked like phones from the 90's that were actually used to tell you all about all the art throughout the museum. We could type in the number of what we were looking at and it would tell us all the details about it. We were not allowed to take pictures in the museum, but it was definitely a strange type of art all throughout. Parts of it even seemed quite scary to Amanda and I. However, we made it out and headed off to explore the city.
