european wanderings

Hola! Now we are in Spain! We spend two nights in Bilbao a northern city that was really cute and had a river and mountains and hills all around adn it was pretty. We went to the beach and saw lots of surfers and paragliders. The house we stayed at was kind of crazy, there were ten people in the one three room apartment and they were from all over the world. Four from spain, two girls from portugal, a german boy, an english girl, and us. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Also in Bilbao is the Guggenheim museum which is really cool looking. Now we are in a national park Picos de Europa. We went hiking this morning and tomorrow we are canoeing down the river and then catching a bus to Madrid. Gotta go, at an internet cafe, communcation is expensive!
adios

So I have decided to create a european wandering blog.

We have seen quite a bit of London but the city is really quite huge. Right now we are staying in a nice house in South Kensington with Becky's great aunt. We are a five minute walk from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. We wandered through the park yesterday and saw Kensington Palace and the statue of Peter Pan in the gardens as well as the palace sunken gardens. Last night we had a nice dinner with Becky's great aunt and her daughter and her english husband which was fun. Tonight we are going to see the musical "The Sound of Music" which I am quite excited about becuase I love it. London has all kinds of musicals and plays and I wish I had the money to see them all! Les Mis, Wicked, Grease, The Lion King, Billy Elliot, Chicago and many more. And it was really cool to see Shakespeare in the native setting and with the english accents.
Tomorrow we are headed to spain and hopefully I will be able to update this here blog thing.
cheers
