1) Dom and I walked down the river since I'd never done it before. I hadn't explored where I lived! La Ria Bilbao is like 10 steps from my door, and it stretches for a good distance in both directions.
2) Katie graced us with her presence this past weekend! We went to Art After Dark, which is a party in the Guggenheim, and then to Fever.
3) The next morning, Katie had the brilliant idea to go to Burger King. We met up with Ryan, Dom and some other Brits and went to BK while they got some kebab. I spent 7 euro on this hamburger (ridiculous, I know), but it was worth every penny. Here's a picture of the boys huffing kebab:
I think it's hilarious that they have the nerve to call these things "tapas." It gives BK a touch of class, don't you think? I felt excellently disgusting after eating it, but Katie was altogether pleased.
4) To help burn off some of that awful meal, we took a walk to Casco Viejo, the old part of Bilbao. It was lovely!
We passed by a fish market, where we spotted this disturbing dead fish. Just look at that eye bulge. ::shudder::
5) At some point before that weekend, Kyle and I bumped into Hannah and Leslie (both English teachers here) on their way to pintxos, and they invited us along. I tasted pika, which is lemonade and beer, for the first time, and I think I'm in love. It was so refreshing! This place also had tasty and cheap pintxos. I went there again today, actually.
6) I saw this stack of jam in the grocery store the other day. That brand name has GOT to be a joke.
In other news: I got the internet!!!! Oh...MY...GOD. It's amazing. It's everything I thought it could be and more. I'm Skyping my life away. In a way, I feel like it's probably unhealthy to love the internet this much...but in another way I don't care! I have internet!!
