Since my parents have been in Mallorca I have been traveling around Spain with my friend Dana. It has been pretty cool since we have no reservations or obligations, we have taken trains and buses to various cities around Spain, and without prior reservations found nice and and inexpensive places to stay each night. We started in Pamplona (famous for the bull run and Ernest Hemmingway). Pamplona was sort of a dud. The weather was cold and rainy and there was not too much to see. No worries we packed up and left to Bilbao. Bilbao was GREAT. The city was still rainy, but had much more character. It was grand but steeped in old cobble stone streets. The Guggenheim museum was an absolute gem and we spent an entire day walking around the modern ar exhibits there. WONDERFUL. We are now in Madrid, and will be here for the rest of the weekend and the beginning of the week. Madrid has tons of tourist compared to what we have seen before. There is a huge soccer game tonight between Madrid and Barcelona and the whole country has soccer fever.
We are having a great time
