Bilbao - Fine Arts Museum and Boat Ride

By Dylan and  Zach

Today we took our third trip to Bilbao to visit the Museum of Fine Arts and take a boat ride on la ria through the center of the city. 
After walking to school we met in our group to join our students in their first class. I (Dylan) was with Eneko, and I had Euskera. In Euskera, we took a quiz about world languages and learned a song in Basque called Txoriak Txori. I (Zach) was with Ander, and we had Economics. We talked about government intervention in the economy and it was really interesting. We compared the economic systems of Spain and the United States and how they are different.

After class we went to the metro to get to the Museo de Bellas Artes in Bilbao. There we split into two groups and took a tour to see various exhibits of contemporary paintings, multiple sculptures, religious paintings and even fashion from the 1950s. 

After we left the tour we went to take a ride on a bilboat on la ria. We got to see the many parts of Bilbao and observe how the city has grown and developed from a factory based center to a more modern city.
Once we finished our boat ride we finally went to Casco Viejo where we shopped around and waited for our kids to find us. 

Third times the charm in Bilbao; 

the trip with the group was really fun and everything was amazing.
