More Pictures

I had some free time today between almuerzo and classes and I uploaded pictures to my computer. Here are a few of my favorites so far....

This is a plaza in Madrid. This is one of my favorite pictures I've taken so far, its so beautiful its hard for me to believe that I was actually there!  

This is the Aqueduct in in Segovia built 2000 years ago without any cement or anything. So impressive. There we also tons and tons of birds! 

This is in the town Plenzia, its at the end of the metro and has a beautiful beach.

Plentzia again! It was such a beautiful day when we went we stayed until after 7pm and the sun was still up. The water was freezing and VERY salty but very calm so swimming was fun.

This is a statue in Gexto, it is supposed to be Man fighting against Neptune. It is a very old light house (not the traditional sort of American light house but one none the less.)  

This is the flag of the Basque country, you see tons of them here because Bilbao is part of the Basque country. I took this picture in in Urdaibai, where the is a biosphereic reserve. 

This is a picture of the The University of Deusto from across La Ria

This is the Guggenheim from the University side of the La Ria. The clouds that day were incredible!

The Guggenheim, the spider sculpture called Mama, La Ria (called La in stead of  el rio because it expresses the strong pride the people here have in the river) and the INCREDIBLE clouds!!!
