Too much!

I went to a lecture on Basque nationalism by Cameron Watson (who wrote the textbook for the class I´m taking) on Friday and on a field trip to Gernika and Bilbao on Saturday and we wandered around town a bit today. It´s a little cooler now, still comfortable. In Bilbao we took a boat up the river to a great restaurant and spent the afternoon on a guided tour of the Guggenheim. Fantastic exhibits and of course the building itself is worth the trip. It´s getting easier to be here, we´re finding the good grocery stores and a running trail ... we´re not only near the beach but also two blocks from a steep and wooded hill with great views of the city and a rural forest feel. Lots of places to explore up there.
