6/16/07 San Sebastian, España

On Friday June 15 we went to Bilbao and when we arrived there we had some free time so we went to the mall called Zubiarte next to the Guggenheim museum. Then we went to a little park a block a way from the mall it was so beautiful it was like a dream. We then had to meet so we can enter the museum but first we took pictures of the famous dog made of flowers.
The pieces in the museum were very exquisite they were wonderful I especially loved the piece by Anselm Kiefler. The piece was a series of dresses made of plaster, each sculpture represented something different. One of them represented one of the gods in the odyssey. Then we drove to the next city to stay.

Today we are in San Sebastian España we are about 25 kilometres from France. The weather here is very cold, the days as well as the nights. We took a tour around san Sebastian we visited some churches, the Mercado where they had fish which smelled really bad, we went to a plaza where they used to held bullfights and we took a hike to a really beautiful place where you can over look the ocean and the town.

We had about seven hours to burn so we decided that we were going to go eat then after we would take a boat ride out to this little island in the middle of the water. We ate at a really great hamburger place called Va Bene Disco Burger.


We boarded the boat it took about five minutes to reach the island is was breathtaking. We hiked up the mountain to the house at the very top so we would to able to take a better look at everything. We then had to return back and we headed to the warmest beach every, just kidding, the water was so freezing cold I think it might be colder than the pacific ocean, that’s bad. We burned so many calories today its not even funny.

Tomorrow we leave for Pamplona then the sleepless town Barcelona.


Hasta Luego
VALE!!
