It is the 16th already. did not get a chance to make an entry last night when we got back to temple housing 1 roommate was there and in bed.
The 15th we got up and had to change rooms. we also had to wait an hour during cleaning time. so we did not get away from the place until 10am. we went to a park with florida flags at the entrance. we walked around looking at the statutes and looked for a geocache but could not find it.
we wandered the streets for a while looking at the sights and found a geocache by a monument that looked like the arc de triumphe in paris. We went back to the temple and met Ben's mission president and wife that were to the stake center by the temple for interviews. The boys left to find a place to sleep for the night. The other 4 of us did a session and participated in some sealings. We walked to a sidewalk cafe for supper and back to bed.
May 16.
up and out of temple hostel before 9am. Rode the metro to bilbao station to meet the boys. We then went looking for a place to sleep tonite. We picked the hotel anaco in the centro ciudad. Dropped our packes and went exploring. Went to the kings palace and the cathedral next door. we did not go in the palace because the line was at least a block long to get thru security. we then went to bens favorite eating place called dona kabob which made sandwiches in a pita bread with lamb or chicken. They cook the meat on a spit vertically turning it. the meat is pressed on the spit and is about 18 inches in diameter and 2.5 feet long. After eating we went to an egyptian temple, but it was closed already so we took pictures of the outside. We sat in a park for a while and then came back to the hotel. Seth, rosie and i went shopping for a few more gifts. we bougth 2 leather bags for hayden and noah and some earrings for sarah. I got a couple of patches of cities in spain. We came back to the hotel and checked our reservations for tomorrow. Our flight leaves at 11:35 am. Seth and Jen got changed to a different flight, we are leaving early to see if they can get changed back. otherwise they get home at 11pm with a 5 hour layover in newark.
Done for now. We get home about 8:30pm tomorrow.
