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.

Abandoned kitties on the jetty

Unfortunately, there were a lot of them :-(

Area where we live

In the evening, when the beach is almost deserted, looking towards the Gros area, our apartment building is in there somewhere. Bermingham St. #7.

Yikes, I´m a student!

I have to get to class on time, read stuff, and I have a paper due tomorrow. But at least it´s interesting, and it will be useful to me in my job. And there is still some time for wandering around and shopping and going to the beach ... I´m going to try uploading photos from my camera since I haven´t been able to find free w-fi.
