Hi everyone,
This is the first chance I´ve had to update the blog since we left from MB. The flight to Manchester was very long and very exhausting. I forgot how resilient you are when you´re a kid. Dad and I did a lot sleeping when we got to Widnes. Mom struggled but is a trooper nonetheless.
Saturday and Sunday we did a bit of shopping and I managed to get in a run. That was a tough, but glad I got ut there. Ate the standard fish and chips and NO to Sloppy peas. GROSS! But I did force myself to try some other kind of peas that were literally neon green. NO JOKE!
So the journey begins. Dad and I walked about 45 minutes from the bus station to the hostel we´re at right now. You know I thought Montreal was the city that never slept, but you should see all the joggers out at 10pm at night here in Bilbao. Mind you I can´t blame them it´s absolutely beautiful country side even in the dark. They have a bridge that cars, cable cars, bicycles and pathways to accomodate everyone. No one runs into anyone or has to ring a bell to get people out of the way..it´s absolutely amazing! The one thing I´m struggling with is having to muscle my way in lines. If there´s the smallest of gaps between you and the person ahead, people will step in there without worry. I think it´s a Canadian thing that we stand about 5 feet back from someone getting a ticket of some sort out of common courtesy. Well hell no you don´t do that here or in ´jolly´old England. Oh and for the record..they ain´t as jolly as they are assumed. I will sensor my opinion at this point as my 2nd cousin who lives there and has been spending a lot of time with us driving us around and such will be reading this. She´s great though! Love ya SUE!!
I think that is about it at the moment. I´ve got more details to write about and keeping a journal. I hope everyone is well and until the next opportunity comes along to update again with pictures, dad and I should be well on our way on the Camino.
Cheers for now folks!! Miss you all lots!!
