Hola Bilbao!

I am currently in Bilbao in northern Spain - very different from Andalucia.  First it is about 10 degrees cooler - which makes it around 24 - 25 degrees during the day.  The first day was rainy (my first rainy day of the trip) but yesterday and today are to be lovely - 25 and sunny - aaahhhh...  Secondly, it is much greener than down south, though the trees are starting to lose their leaves.  I wandered the city - yes I got lost again - I can't seem to read the maps or my sense of direction is way off! I usually can find my way in the end and I often walk twice as far - but I see lots.  Though the Guggenheim Muesum was closed on Monday - I walked around it - very impressive - photos will come.  It was designed by the Canadian born architect - Frank Gehry.  I stumbled upon the old part of Bilbao - narrow streets, cafes, small plazas - a perfect way to spend an afternoon.
