Day 9: Bilbao's Town Hall and Guggenheim Museum

Ellie and Gabby

We started our Wednesday by walking with our exchange students and meeting with everyone at the school at 8 am. Then, we rode the metro where two men were yelling at each other; we were entertained for we learned some new Spanish swear words. We finally got off the metro 8+ stops later and arrived in Abondo, Bilbao
We were excited to see the Ayuntamiento because we were able to take a tour of Bilbao's town hall. Although we were tired from the long night before during the tour, we were all very interested in learning more about the significance of the town hall. 
After seeing the beautiful interior of the town hall, we left and walked across a bridge called Zubizuri to visit the Guggenheim Museum. We were all extremely siked to see the modern art and Puppy. Inside, we had the opportunity to see the marvelous statues and structures
In one large room, we were able to walk into these big structures that were so tilted and distorted that we were unbalanced due to its crooked perspective. 
There were three floors to the Guggenheim and we got to see artwork created from gunshots and others of fat ladies. 
After an hour or so, we finished our trip to Guggenheim by devouring some rich and delicious gelato! 
What a day and what an amazing experience! We are still hungry for more!
