So after finishing our delicious meal and Deliciouso(sp?), Andrew and I decided to explore Bilbao. We had seen a green hill in the distance while walking back from the Guggenheim, and decided to find out a way to get up there. We climbed some stairs in back of the metro stop, climbed for a long time, but even by half way up we could see over most of the roof tops. A young boy smoking a cigarette(questionable) passed up by us and back down before we got to the top. As we got to the top we came to a small park with a soccer court and a grassy hill over looking the city. A guy about our age with a mohawk was sketching, and Andrew proceeded to take photos of him. For some reason it reminded me of the movie Blow-up, at least the park scene. After walking around the park a little more, we discover a strange covered walkway that we realized led to an elevator shaft. It was .37e for a trip to street level. Andrew kept calling it a communist tower, i guess it was very stark and old. We also found some little veggie gardens belonging to some apartments on the hillside. All very European and quaint. The best part by far was returning to the benches overlooking the city and distant hills. After taking in the view, it was amazing to give my legs a rest and listen to my music while watching the clouds. ..... and then we raced back to Barcelona.
