Guggenheim, Tapas, and the Punk Rock Club

So the Frank Gehry designed Guggenheim Museum is pure sick...The Surrealist show is one of the best representations of an art movement I have ever seen and they let me do my graffiti thing as well...shirt for one or two cool girls will be purchased there...I ate tapas (called pinxtos here in Basque country)for supper again. The squid, octopus, and little bird egg one was super yummy and cost all of 1.70...I have yet to even hear someone speak English here, there are very few tourists and where I am staying (the old barrio) everyone speaks Basque or Spanish...I simply point at what I want and they figure it out...And I stand out because A. I am like nine times everyone´s size (in height and girth) and B. I wear a baseball cap...I have decided that after Riga I will head south to Lithuania, Poland, and Hungary. Oh yeah, so I walk into this punk rock club and every single mohawked kid stops talking, and I realize...Spanish Punk Rock Kids...not so friendly...but I am going back later to see if there is band playing at least...
