Day 12 San Sebastian, Bilboa

Guggenheim
Left the apartment at 8:30 for a leisurely Sunday morning drive over to Bilboa primarily to see the Guggenheim Museum. Got there just after 10, parked in an adjacent lot and spent 45 minutes trying to find the damn entrance. The Guggenheim is a magnificent building - that's about the best I can say. I cannot imagine what's going through the artists minds when they're creating this "Art". We didn't stay very long. The highlight for me was the giant cat (or maybe it was a dog) outside the building. It was made up entirely with flowers, all pansies. Afterwards we walked around town a bit, most of the shops were closed. I guess it was around one when we headed back to San Sebastian. We had hoped to go back by way of the coastal road, but a lack of planning and communication lead to some confusion (on my part of course), and we ended up going straight back to the apartment. Decided to do the coast drive on Tuesday.

Towards evening we walked down the river through the Gros section and over to Old Town. Spent a few hours there wandering around and watching the kids play while we sat at a cafe. Had a few Pintxos and a more than a few wines before going back to the apartment.
