I just got back from a journey from London to San Francisco via Chicago that, door to door, took about 24 hours. Ugh. Still, it was all worth it. Tragically, my camera broke the day I got to London and hasn't started working again. Guess that's an excuse to buy a new one. Anyway, one of the highlights of the trip was a surprise visit to Bilbao, which is absolutely fantastic and most definitely ought to be on anyone's lists of places to visit. If you're into architecture, it's a must, but the best piece of architecture in Bilbao, in my opinont wasn't the Guggenheim - it was the airport. Sondika Airport, designed by Santiago Calatrava is easily the coolest airport I've ever seen. Sort of like the Milwaukee Art Museum, but the size of an airport.

The only time during my entire travels that I took any photos was in Bilbao, where I bought 4 disposable cameras and used them all in 2 days. Unfortunately I have to wait for them to be developed. In the meantime, here's a link to someone else's photos of the airport in Bilbao.
