I am so jealous. ._.
I never felt any urge to go to Bilbao but looking at these pictures I really want to go now.
Well thank you...
Pretty pictures ._.

txorakeriak March 21 2011, 21:28:05 UTC

I can't say I'm sorry. XD Bilbao really is awesome and you definitely should go there! :) Glad you enjoyed the photos!

JAJAJAJA! There you are again, after you just abandoned me yesterday!
It's a pretty place ._. And I do wanna go. Maybe I will one day. And then I will meet Llorente and he'll confess his undying love to me and it'll be your turn to be jealous!

txorakeriak March 21 2011, 23:29:31 UTC

I never abandoned you!!! Remember, I was nice and polite and said good night! *pouts hugely*

And you really should go. And if Llorente confesses his undying love to you, let me know so I can move to Bilbao and comfort poor Javi. *sniffle* ;)

That all looks so good! Though in truth, the modern parts are a bit too modern for me (and really I'm just saying it in order not to feel too jealous XD)
Seems like you had a great time while we simple people laboured and toiled ;)

txorakeriak March 21 2011, 21:28:22 UTC

It was awesome, trust me! :D And I personally love the combination of modern and old buildings, but I understand it's a matter of taste. Have you seen the pics from my first visit? There are more pics of the architecture and some really interesting buildings... ;)

sheep_emilia March 21 2011, 21:36:53 UTC

Of course I trust you, I'm merely too much of a medievalist for my own good! And as far as modern goes, this is nice... Doesn't clash with the old too much (yes, for me old with always take precedence... what can I say!)
Of course I saw them, but I'm controling my jealousy and all that!

txorakeriak March 21 2011, 21:40:25 UTC

I usually prefer ancient to modern, too! For instance, I loathe modern art. The only kind of art museum I'd visit is the Prado kind, with lots of nice old paintings instead of all that abstract modern stuff. ;) (Yes, people, feel free to call me a philistine.) So yeah, when it comes to buildings I don't like too modern ones either, but I don't mind a decent, sensible combination of old and new.

But yes, I understand perfectly that you need to control your jealousy. *hugs* :)

AND YOU WENT TO THE MUSEO VASCO!!!!! Where are the pics? Oh, you tease, you!!!! LMAO.

Awww...I miss Bilbao so much and I really, really, truly want to go back soooooo much!!!

I am looking forward to your next pictures with MUCH impatience!!!! LOL...XDDDDDDD

(I second Becky's emotion!) :)♥

txorakeriak March 21 2011, 21:29:34 UTC

I miss the city so much, I can't even say how much. *sniffle*

We weren't allowed to take any pics in the Museo Vasco, but it was definitely interesting! They had an exhibition of photographs around 1900 or something, taken all across the Basque Country, with all different kinds of people (old people, kids, workers, farmers, etc.), and the main exhibition with old hunting tools and household items and maps and china and other historical bits was very interesting too! Well worth a visit. :)

Next time you want to go back, let me know and I'll definitely be there! :D

just_jenni March 24 2011, 10:35:15 UTC

I have to catch up on your Bilbao posts! :(

I love and miss Bilbao as well. I dare anyone to go there and say they didn't like it. :)

The Museo Vasco sounds extremely interesting. I love all those old artefacts. While I was there, on the Sunday morning there was a flea market in the Plaza Nueva. I had a good look around...it was so much fun examining all the really old things...there were some particularly interesting-looking books. I wanted to buy them but alas, they would have been to heavy to add to my suitcase! Oh, and I saw a BIG, fluffy black rabbit in a cage! OMG, I love bunnies and wanted to buy him too! XDDD

For sure I'll let you know when I am going back!♥

Take your time! I know you're busy, so please don't stress yourself! (I do miss you, though! *clings*)

I dare anyone to go there and say they didn't like it. :)
Such a person should be put in a lunatic asylum immediately!!

Oooh, a flea market? Sounds interesting! I'm sure I would have bought lots of useless stuff there, would have been too excited to resist! XD

We so must visit the Museo Vasco together when we're in Bilbao again! If you love old artefacts and the like, you'll love it there!
