21-22 Feb 2009; MADRID
Well, last weekend I went to San Sebastián and Bilbao with my internship which was lovely. We took a bus and it took about 6 hours only because somebody had the brilliant idea to paint the highway in the middle of the day. En fin, it wasn't too long of a trip since I'm already used to going back and forth from NYC and Boston. When we got there, we had a gigantic lunch at the hotel and then went to walk around with a tour along the beach. It was the first time that I was at a beach in boots and I loved it. It was so pretty..
After walking around and seeing everybody dressed up in their costumes for Carnavales, it was our turn. We looked AMAZING and I'm so happy with the way all of the costumes turned out. We barhopped a bit that night and then plopped into bed because we were dead tired from everything. But finally! Here is a picture of me and my four bosses/coworkers who I love!
From left to right, Silvia (SuperGirl), Alicia (Wonderwoman), Me! (Robin), Laura (Catwoman) and Alejandra (Batgirl). We had way too much fun with this whole dressing up bit, but it was totally worth it.
After San Sebastián we went over to Bilbao and saw the Guggenheim. The Murakami exhibit was really impressive, as was the giant grass puppy outside the museum named Poopie. :D So cute..
And well, that's that. We left pretty early because we had a long trip ahead of us and got back into Madrid around 9pm. I had so much fun seeing what it was like to be on the staff of a study abroad program instead of being a student. I also loved the minor detail of having the program pay for absolutely everything. Hehe..
