The Goog, Bilbao, and Basque....

So being in Barcelona, the locals speak Catalan, ok i can handle that.  But in Bilbao they speak Basque....wtf.  Anywho, seeing the Guggenheim was INCREDIBLE.  The building is so interesting with its curves and whatnot.  When i got there to see it in person, I was taken aback at how intricate the whole thing is.  The interior did not disappoint as well.  The walls on the interior looked as if they were in motion at one time but after some event the walls ceased to move and the positions they were in at that time were frozen as they are today.  I dunno, that is my take on it.  

Bilbao is a beautful city and the new architecture there is amazing...new is relative to the age of the city...the Bridge and the Goog along with the new high-rise buildings are really cool.  The people there are so nice but one thing I do not understand is why the stores close at 7 pm...well maybe not that early but still, damn.  

How do u speak Basque?  Well it is not that hard, just try to pronouce this word:  Ujalskjfañxklsjdhfajhxsdakjshdalñkjñaskafs  this word means apple.  See not hard at all....
