So the cheap beer was just a tease. Apparently, just like us, the concept of buying a 6-pack is foreign here in Spain. That's why it appeared that the beer was so cheap. But alas, the dirt cheap price indicated was for the CAN and not the 6-pack. We wondered, during our first few grocery store trips, why some 6-packs were missing a few cans. It's because people just take as many cans as they want off the ring and buy just that many. And so, the .72€ we thought was a steal for a 6-pack of beer is just for the one aluminum can. Ah...we knew it couldn't last.
And, more pictures on our album. We took the subway up to Plentzia beach this afternoon, just to check things out.
It was crazy windy and looked eerie like a storm was about to come through, but it was still a lot of fun! The wind was pounding like crazy - we took a video of it on my camera but it's too large to upload on this blog. And it only took .90€ for each of us to ride one way there, a 45-minute subway.
And on that note, transportation in Bilbao (and I'm guessing the rest of Spain and Europe) is incredible. You can't imagine how many different subway, bus, tram and train routes there are going anywhere you'd want to go. Not only can we walk to school in about 20-30 minutes, but we can either take the tram, bus or subway to school too if we're feeling exceptionally lazy or pressed for time. A bus or train ride to Madrid or Barcelona can flirt anywhere in the 20-30€ range, so that might definitely be a trip we're planning sometime soon.
As for the immediate future, our time for skiing is quickly melting away. We went to the travel agency in the school today to check out some cheap deals on a weekend ski trip. If we do go, it'll be sometime in February.
¡Hasta luego!
