It is my second day in Bilbao, although I have not actually gone to the city yet.  I have been exploring Algorta, the village that I live in with my family (Leticia and Teo).  They are both very nice, although I am even struggling to communicate with the little 5-year old, Teo.  It is pretty pathetic haha....

Everything here already amazes me.  The people, the buildings, the weather, everything.  It is literally crazy how strange everything seems right now....I feel like I am going to wake up from a dream soon.

Having a last drink with mom at the Hilton before leaving Chicago!

some cool little walkways in Algorta

 some pictures by the beach...





I have been exploring around here a little, but Monday I plan to go into the city and explore there a little, then head to San Sebastian to visit a friend I met on the plane who is also from Chicago!
