Bilbao. Do you know any city

BIOFIC Bilbao Film Commission

I heart Bilbao!

Well, folks sorry for the delay in updates… it´s been a hectic few days getting ready for my showcase tonight!

I wanted to report on Bilbao and how totally awesome it is.  I was there on Saturday which was a day ofter a car bomb went off.  So going was maybe a little risky but I realize that I wasn´t going to be riding in any cars there so i went ahead with my plans.  I am so glad I did because it is a lovely city!  Throughout this trip I have tried to make comparisions about the cities to others I´ve been to as a sort of context for myself.  I equated Barcelona to San Franciso;  Zaragoza to a kinda clean, without the ghetto Philly and Bilbao to Vancouver.  Bilbao is very green and lush; built right into the hills and mountians and is right along the water.  It also is smaller and easy to find your way through.  I got a map from teh bus station and was thinking I would have a lot of walking on my hands again but the map was so clear and before I knew it, I had arrived at my destination- the Guggenheim!

I have to say the Guggenheim is worth all the excitement that is recieves.  The building is truly magnificient.  I was so excited that as I walked down the street and turned the corner, beyond all the policemen, helicoptors and security stops- I saw the huge flower dog and the shiny facade in the distance.  I think I might have audibly giggled with excitement!

I spent a lot of time walking around the front of the building and yes, took many many pictures (so Liz I think we have to get together when I return!).  When I finally got inside (after about a half an hour outside just snapping pics) there was exploding cars in the atrium suspended from the ceiling.  I find out that this was from the Cai Guo-Qiang exhibit that later just blew me away.
