We walked along the river about a mile to the Guggenheim Museum.
On the way we found these women.
We the got to the most famous museum created by a hockey player.
The computer designed museum bears a striking resemblance to the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. There is good reason for this. They were both designed by Frank Gehry.
Of course, what Gehry is best known for his love of hockey. His greatest creation is his "Cross-check" chair.
The museum itself here has some really crazy stuff in it. Here is the best piece I found which is made up from mangled car parts.
The art in the museum is very thought-provoking. The primary thought provoked for me and Jo was that Tucker could be given some finger paints and a canvas and create a magnificent piece of art that would fit in perfectly here.
There was a Picasso exhibition which showed his typical odd and distorted art.
Outside the museum is a famous giant puppy covered completely in pansies of different colors.
Unfortunately, when we were there, all of the pansies were being replaced.
We then walked to the funicular. On the way, we came across this auto mechanics shop.
Then it was up to the top of the mountain overlooking Balbao.
Then it was back to the old town.
On our way back to old town, we saw another church . . .
. . . and city hall.
Then, Jo went out shopping and I worked on this blog.
We packed our things and headed out for our final dinner. We found a tapes bar nearby. Jo and I have very different philosophies about ordering food. I point at things despite the fact that I have no clue what they are. Jo interrogates the staff to determine the ingredients of each which is a challenge when they don't speak English.
(By the way, it never did rain today.)
