I'm Going to Whine A Bit

    Apparently it's not supposed to rain this much in Bilbao....but it is.  I thought yesterday was pretty miserable when I had to walk in the rain one time.  Today I walked in it three times.  My umbrella broke the first time I was in the rain.  If someone knows some expert tips about walking in the rain please comment.  I think if I have to sit through another class with soaked pants, I'm probably going to get sick.

    By the time I was leaving the school at 5:30, the road in front of the university was flooded.  Luckily I don't have to cross that particular street.  Unlucky for others, it's a pretty busy street. I think a lot of my classmates learned that you can't carry your books around without a backpack in Bilbao. Hopefully tomorrow the rain will go back to normal since my umbrella can't take another day.

    I'm sure there is much more to talk about from this day but all I can think about are the blisters from my rain boots.  We had mashed potatoes with our supper tonight.  It was a welcome surprise but I don't think there was butter in them.

    *Here's one positive for the day.  I found today that located only a block from my house are a cupcake place and a Mexican restaurant.
