Yesterday Isabel and Perico took me on a road trip to Lekeitio which was about an hour and a half away from Bilbao. It used to be an old fishing village, but through the years it has become a vacation town for the people living in the cities. Martin says it's because it is home to the most beautiful beach in the world. Since I haven't seen many beaches I would have to agree with him, but it is a pretty cool place. The beach wasn't particularly big but off about 100 yards from the beach there is a small island which is pretty cute. Isabel said that during the summer on low tide the kids can walk over to the island and they play there all day. Now i just want to go back there in the summer and walk to the island.
It stopped raining just long enough for us to walk on the beach for awhile. Isabel probably thought I was incredibly sheltered when I got excited over finding a seashell on the beach. At least she helped me find more. Apparently when Perico was really young, the Queen of Belgium spent her summer in Lekeitio and had a spot reserved on the beach for an entire summer right by Perico's family. Apparently she even stuck her hand in Perico's sister's mouth to pull out a bee.
After the beach we went to take a quick break at Isabel's family's vacation apartment. It was more like a giant house and I had to follow Isabel around so I didn't get lost. We finished the day by walking through the pouring rain to see more of the town. It was a pretty nice day, overall. I'm sure it would have been a ton nicer without all the rain.
