Yesterday, I did a physical thing. I went with my friend, Milenka, her roommate, Joseba, and 3/4 of Joseba's cuadrilla to a place called Urdaibai for canoeing. It was kind of spur of the moment, and had I thought longer about the amount of constant movement canoeing would entail, I might have politely refused. HOWEVER, I did not, and I consequently had one of the best "outdoorsy" experiences I have ever had. Who could have guessed exercise would be so rejuvenating? Urdaibai was so lovely and the weather was absolutely perfect. I wanted to bring my camera, but the battery died and I had lent my charger to Milenka, so I don't have any evidence.
Anyway, afterward, we were starving. Julen asked me, "te gusta el pollo?" I thought to myself, what kind of question is that? Who doesn't like chicken? But, actually, chicken isn't so popular here, so it was very possible that I would have some kind of chicken aversion. The Basques are more of a pork people. Anyway, we went to this asador (type of restaurant) and shared a bunch of the best roasted chicken I've ever had. Then, I came home and fell immediately asleep for a solid four hours. All in all, a great day.

you? physical activity? ENJOY?? I AM shocked. I think as long as it doesn't involve speed (ahem, jet ski, segway), you'll probably enjoy it.
