Feeling a little adventurous...

Well, yesterday we finally decided to hang out with some of the other European kids who are here studying at Deusto. Apparently they've been feeling a little adventurous lately, so they've been taking these short distance trains called cercanías to random stops and just walking around. Well, yesterday we decided to join, and even though there wasn't very much to Amurrio, Spain, we still had a pretty good time.

The trip started with everyone scrambling to buy a ticket about 2 minutes before the train left the station. It's quiet a sight to see when there's a group of about 10 exchange students rushing to buy tickets in a foreign language. But, needless to say, we all made it to the train. If you look at the pictures on our picture site, you'll be able to see a lot of really cool pictures of the nothern Spanish countryside.

Even though the city of Amurrio wasn't that much to look at, the company kept everyone entertained. Bana and I went with 2 kids from England, another girl from Texas, 1 guy from Boston, 1 guy from Belgium, and 1 other guy from Amsterdam. As you can see from the picture, one guy had a little too much fun at the playground.

Yet, probably the best part of the entire trip was the picnic that we had at the park. It's amazing the amount of food that you can get for 2€ a piece. Check out this picture of the picnic spread:

All of this food for under 2€ a piece. We had a miniature feast!

Well, that was our trip to Amurrio. Oh, and one more thing. We've had to wash all of our clothes in the bathtub and hang them up to dry because it costs so much to use the washing machines and dryers. That's an experience for sure! I know it doesn't beat walking to school for ten miles in the snow uphill both ways with holes in your shoes, but it still makes us feel colonial!
