Bilbao, Spain





One week ago I was on my way to Bilbao with Anne to meet up with her (and mine now) friend, Colleen. Bilbao is in Basque country - do some research if you don't know what it is! We went to the beach the first day (Saturday) with Colleen and some of her friends! It was only 60 out so we didn't go swimming, but it was gorgeous and drank champagne on the beach! That night we taught her roommates how to play beer pong before we went to a night club! Americans are the only ones who pre-game and have drinking games - so it seems. People don't go to the night clubs until 2am! I wanted to go to bed, but was forced to go. It was fun.

Sunday we went to the Guggenheim museum! It was very cool to see! They had a whole exibit/floor on Murakami! And of course, the best part was the Murakami Louis Vuitton collection and paintings!

Monday. Anne and I took a day trip to San Sebastian! It is a cute little beach town with great views, gardens, beaches, shops and cafes! It was a gorgeous day at the beach! That night we went to my favorite part of Bilbao that reminded me of a european Gold Coast!

We left for Lisbon on Tuesday via bus. It was the most comfortable, beautiful and peaceful 12 hour bus ride. The country side of Spain and Portugal is amazing. Green hills, mountains, trees, farms, animals, lakes, sunset etc.
