The weekend of March 11-13 was a study trip to San Sebastian and Bilbao. This one was WAY more relaxing than the one to Sevilla and Córdoba in the fall...probably because I don't have as many classes, and therefore don't have as much homework, but also because there is just a little bit less to do and see than down south.
That isn't to say that there is nothing to do in SanSe and Bilbao, but rather, that we sat through an hour-long lecture the week before regarding the history of the País Vasco, and thus, we didn't have to stand through it all on our walking tours.
There's lots of cool things to do, but this one was my favorite.
That's the Guggenheim, Bilbao. Say what you will about architect Frank Gehry...when he designed this building, he made an absolutely beautiful creation.
It's like some crazy boat/Dr. Seuss creation, nestled in the middle of the mountains.
I just think it's absolutely gorgeous.
And the exhibits are pretty cool, too. But I couldn't take any pictures of those.
