AS I WAS TELLING YESTERDAY ....

Some people asked me what was happening with my blog ...
My brother Ignacio asked me if Memorial Day in USA is a whole week ...lol (=jajajaja)
Sorry. I had a hectic week and my first american college test of Macroeconomic .. and I had to study... in English.
I realised that most of you prefered the first blog design .... perhaps me too, perhaps that's why I was so lazy to write. Any way, I'm here again, in my first design blog and  ... with a lot of things to write about ... interesting and amazing things.

But, let me began with breaking news: DOUG CAME BACK HOME ¡¡¡ Wellcome home¡¡¡¡

He had a nice time (14 days) in Bilbao, he visited San Sebastian (famous Bilbao's neighborhood), Lekeitio, Elatxobe, EA, Plentzia .... and Lomana (famous town in Burgos, with a wonderful major (Doug's words).

He told us a lot of things about Bilbao, some of them were weird things for him ... but very normal for me: the blinds (las persianas), la merienda, have diferent oranges (de zumo y de mesa), don't have "cereales" for breakfast, we don't use a lot of spices to cook, we have a lot of "yogures", we plan the day around the lunch time, the people get dressed pretty smart in the city and for working in the garden (huerto), we spend a lot the time out home (in the bars, in the parks...), we have dinner around 10 pm, we have a lot of greenhouses (invernaderos), we use clay roof tiles (tejas), the streets are narrow and we don't have  houses with backyard .....

But, I disappointed because when he unpacked his luggage .... Ana wasn't there, I hoped she was in the suitcase ...jajaja.

But today I talked on the cell phone with Ana, she was very happy, because she was in Jaca and her photinias and bambues are awesome (impresionates).

Fotos del día: la estación de tren y como he pasado la mañana en el jardin de casa, tomando el sol 3 minutos, no he aguantado mas ... asi que a la sombra. El calor aquí es sofocante, mas que en Bilbao y no hay brisa....



P.S: I don't forget I have to write about progressive supper, hikes and Philly great visit ... but all of these will be tomorrow....

P.S.; tomorrow I'll write about the hike and the great progresive dinner....

I HIKING ON HYSTORIC COOL WALK

Today I had breakfast with Den, Patricia (here they say Patrisia) and Mark. We had pancakes.. delicious ¡¡¡


Deb
taught me how to cook pancakes ... so long and difficult, I think is more easy go to Florida in Bilbao and aske for them jajajajaja (Perhaps Doug and Scott are now there ...jajajaja)

After that I went hiking, we were 40 people as you can see in the picture ... I was almost all the time talking in English. We were from 12 to 5 PM, and I had to take my return bus al 6:10 PM, so I went to a pub, sit down in the bar and in 2 minutes all the people were talking me and they recomended to have cheese burger with sweet potatoes, "Ok, but the burguer con onions and bacon", I said. I was talking them all the time until got my bus.... I had a shower and now to rest, because before at 9:00 AM have another hiking..... and tomorrow is MEMORIAL DAY ¡¡¡¡¡
