Friday, February 19, 2010-We went on an all day excursion in Spain to the Urdaibai Reserve. Our first stop was at a museum called the Gernika Peace Museum. Inside we were able to read about the history of the Gernika-Lumo, the spanish Civil War, and the bombing of Gernika. Gernika
itself is in the heart of the Urdaibai Reserve. Afterward we walked to the Assembly House in Gernika. Next to the building is the Tree of Gernika-both are symbols of the history of its people, and it is the meeting place for each of the territories in the Basque Country.
We then went to lunch at a restaurant called Zallo Barri where they served seafood-and I did try some of the second dish which was fish. But the seafood on my first dish I gave to someone else in the program and just ate the rice. The dessert was a chocolate layered cake with pistachio crumbs on the side, and a very sweet berry sauce decorating the plate. And of course we ate a couple pieces of bread with our meal. Our next stop was at the beach, unfortunately due to the weather though, we headed back to the University a bit early.
When I returned back to my house that night, Raquel and Oscar had ordered Domino's Pizza for dinner...which I found pretty funny, but it was delicious. And we had chocolate ice cream for dessert...we never eat chocolate after dessert-it's always a piece of fruit, so it was a yummy surprise :)
