Week 4/5 in Santander















This week my class and I went to Bilbao.

  • We saw the Guggenheim museum which was very inspiring! Kapoor (the guy that did the Bean in Chicago) had a HUGE exhibit there! Insightful and visionary. Can't wait to see more art in the following weeks in Madrid and Barcelona!
  • We then got the chance to go to a Bull-fight. Pretty gruesome but definitely an experience. Found out later that our matadors were not the best. Perhaps, I will go again in Sevilla!
I finally finished a paper about monuments of Franco, so now I have one more full day to enjoy Santander. I can not believe that this part of my experience is over. I have had so much fun in Santander! Today I walked along the coast and starred at the boats in the ocean. I have become so comfortable that I keep forgetting thats its possible I will never be here again. We had to say goodbye to our DU professors today and it hit me that this is the end of an amazing experience. Very Bitter-sweet. The water sparkled from sun and all I could think about was wanting to stay here just another week and eat ice-cream from Regma.

In the next few weeks I will be traveling through Europe. Not sure if I will get many chances to blog, but I'll try! Besos de Espana...
