Rest day in Bilbao

Hello, everyone.

We have been enjoying a rest day today--defined as not wearing packs while walking. We did stroll about the city some.

Ate berejena stuffed with bacalao for lunch--this was part of a Menu del Dia. (Menu del Dia is said to have been pushed by Gen. Franco's government as he is said to have insisted that a working man should be able to buy his main meal for a decent price. They are also found in Portugal.) The starter course for me was caprese salad: tender goat cheese slices between tomato wedges with assorted green bits as a base. And for the chaser a milk pudding, creamy and with little or no sugar the way I like it.

We also strolled over to the famous Guggenheim modern art museum. The outsides were interesting but I confess to having no interest in modern art so we just enjoyed the outside and went on our way.

I do like the flowered puppy out front.
Ultreia.
