Bilbao Day 1


I love this city!  It is small, urban, artistic, and edgy.   I wish I could stay here a week and really get to know it like the locals do.


One thing that struck me was the group style seating in the squares outside some cafes.  These are gathering areas for the locals – they bring their kids in strollers, school age children with soccer balls, and their conversations.  They have a long leisurely meal with wine or beer drank slowly.  I tried to capture a group in my first picture.



My next picture is of the Guggenheim which we will explore more on Sunday before we meet up with the rest of our hiking group at 3pm.

Time is so short and I dont think we can do the Guggenheim justice in a short duration.  I half want to do a city bus tour (cringes face, but the city is so pretty and I can’t manage it all on foot).

We will see what tomorrow brings.
