A beautiful Easter Sunday here. I hope it is for all of you as well. The scenery driving North from Madrid to Burgos has been lovely. We climbed high in the Cantabria mountains & there was lots of clouds & snow. Once we went down the other side, it was warmer & a very pretty day.
We stopped in Burgos Spain which is a beautiful city. Timing was perfect as they were just beginning Mass in the courtyard of St Maria Church, a huge 13th century cathedral. It was Catholic service in Spanish but I knew of course what it was about.
We traveled on to Bilbao Spain which is near the border of France & on the Atlantic Ocean coastline. We visited the Googenheim Museum-one of several in the world.
I guess this puppy serves no special significance but it is made entirely of flowers.
Our hotel is here in Bilbao, also. Tonight we are staying in a Novotel which is one of the nicest on our journey. Our ride is long tomorrow - Poitiers France. We will stop in Bordeaux to break up the day.
