And the fun continues!

Hello all! I can't believe I have been here for two weeks now! Everything has been incredible. Last weekend my host dad's brother was in town and we went to two amazing cities with him. First we went to San Sebastián, Spain, This city is about an hour away from where I am staying. It has three beautiful beaches and is also where the other half of my university is located. 

On la Playa de la Concha with my host sister.

We ate pintxos there. (Similar to tapas)

Plaza Constitución. 

We only stayed in San Sebastián for two or three hours. Then we were off to FRANCE! I have now been to two countries in Europe! Crazy, 

Swimming in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, France.

Hanging out on the beach.

Roaming the streets... so pretty and different than anything I have seen!

Again on the streets... cute shops everywhere.

Cool boats.

Visiting those cities was something I'll never forget. I am really thankful that I have a host family happy to bring me along on their travels.

After the weekend, I had a typical week of classes. I'm taking a theater class, a cooking class, a conversation class, and a culture/ politics class. They are all in Spanish so I hope that I am improving,

All my classes are in this hallway.

My friend from GV in one of our classrooms.

Indoor area in the university with palm trees! I hang out here in between classes.

Yesterday, my friend that I met from California and I decided to ride the Funicular up the mountain to get a great view of Bilbao. It only cost 1 euro each way so we were pretty happy.

View from the top.

My friend and I enjoying the view (before the rain started pouring).

Everyday I enjoy walking around. The city is full of old and new buildings. 
One of my favorite buildings.

Hope all is well! I'll try to post again soon :)
