And so it begins... This park was designed in 1907 by Ricardo Bastida and Juan Eguiraun. Why? Because Bilbao didn't have enough parks... Which consequently enough, the only major green spot on the map of Bilbao is this park. Well, I guess that's sort of a lie - it's the only tree covered green spot in the city... The other green areas of Bilbao don't really look too much like parks. They look like misplaced front/back yards because everybody lives in apartments here. You can see some mountains though, nice green ones; however they are not quite as impressive as Pike's Peak or any other Colorado mountains. Anyways... if you didn't notice, Herman is greeting y'all from the small fountain above, which of course is inside this lovely park.
Take a walk through and you will spot some ducks swimming in a quaint little pond...
A small monument for all of those who died in random attacks of the Basque terrorist group: ETA
Where is that Teddy Bear?
This fountain is usually prettier, but the water is really low and you can see the devices that actuallly shoot the water up out of the ground...
Where's Herman in this photo?
This one is obvious... but he's cute sitting up there in that knarley old tree...
The last one... Really tricky, but Herman is there! Can y'all find him???
Next week: Guernica!
