The beach @Gexto!





I spent the end of last week and the weekend working on some freelance work. It was torture sitting at my computer all day Saturday while the sun shone outside. When Sunday rolled around and it was sunny yet again, my roommate Javier and I split for the beach.

This week we hit up Getxo, a well-off community downriver from Bilbao. We sat in a cafe, hung out on the beach for a bit, and then wandered around the old town. Oh yeah, and played around on their outdoor moving sidewalks a bit.

When we went into an Irish pub to get a beer, we accidentally sat down in front of the TV, not knowing that a soccer game was about to start. The local team, the Atlético de Bilbao, were playing, and, well, if we had gotten upa and tried to leave during the game and blocked the TV, there would have been a riot. So we stayed until the first half was over.
