We caught the 8:00am train to Bilbao in order to see the
countryside in daylight, there was a strike on the railroad yesterday and
another 2 day strike tomorrow so our trip is sandwiched around them. I have to publicly thank the woman at Renfe
who helped me set up the trip by telling me about the strike a couple weeks ago
because she probably saved me loads of heartburn. 
Once we got to Bilbao we took a walk over to
the Guggenheim to see the exterior because frankly it’s a much of a draw as the
works inside. I’ve got to say that it is
spectacular from the outside and on Friday we’re going inside to see the works
contained within. We decided to go
Friday because we’re supposed to have insistent rain that day and being inside
will just work out. Out trip to Bilbao
was about 80 percent low clouds and fog but once we got into the Pyrenees it
cleared up and we had a beautiful ride through the mountains. Except for the higher peaks no snow here.
