I haven't really had too much to say on here. Not much happens in Bilbao. Well it turns out I quit my internship...a while ago. Forget to mention that haha. I loved the kids but the program was just not what I wanted and the schedule was very incondusive to traveling...so thats that.
St. Patty's day in Spain is nothing spectacular if anyone was planning on celebrating here one day...go to Ireland. They do have Irish bars here surprisingly, quite a few of them. But they are completely unauthentic. Spanish people work there and they don't play Irish music. The only authentic thing is the beer!
Yesterday we all went to Santander, a coastal city an hour and a half west of Bilbao. The only thing I knew about Santander was that that's where the airport is that I use to travel but it turns out theres more than that there. I wasn't too impressed by the city, just your everyday city, kind of a small version of Bilbao. But the coast was beautiful and there was so much green grass and prettiness and they had a seal/sea lion habitat and penguins too!
I leave for spring break in exactly a week! Off to Morocco for a week then to Milan, Austria, Munich, Stuttgart, Zurich, and Geneva! So excited! I'll be in the Austrian mountains for Easter, I hope the Easter bunny remembers to bring my Easter basket there! So since Spain is in a complete economic crisis and since the change of government a few months ago and all the labor reforms there is going to be a general strike on the 29th...essentially the entire country is not going to work. Horray! Its really unfortunate for some people though because since its the start of break, people scheduled flights for that night and they are only going to have about 1/3 of transportation available in the country. Good thing my flight is 2 days later!
After break I'm only here for one more month! Time is flyin'! By then I'll definitely be ready to go home and live life like a normal person again. Until then though, carpe diem!
Agur!
