Bilbao!

Hi friends!

Julio and I got back from Bilbao on Saturday. We went to the Casco Viejo, Guggenheim Museum, and Museum of Fine Arts, in addition to various plazas and plazuelas around the city. It's a cute city, easily walkable but much more modern than Salamanca. There were way more people from outside of Spain than we had expected, especially in the sketchy neighborhood around our hostel which was really a residencia, just like the one I live in here in Salamanca. We had a great time, it only rained while we were in the Guggenheim and on our last morning, and we bought groceries which kept us full on a cheap budget. Score! I did not take this photo, but it gives you a good idea of how epic the Guggenheim is! It's cool inside, too, but it's more....freaky strange cool than like "ooh wowwww" cool. If that makes sense.

I DID take this photo, however. This is us outside the Guggenheim, I tried to take photos of us plus the museum but it's harder than you think.

So here are the photos I took from this weekend!
