EVEN VACATIONS NEED TIME OUT

Sitting at our airbnb window in Bilbao on a hazy day, I gaze across red tile roofs and a silhouetted hillside.  Instead  of scurrying to the bus for San Sebastian, I sit here in my p.j.s.  The washing machine is whirring, the sun is fighting it's way out and when we get dressed it will be to go to the Mercado de la Ribera to shop for produce, grab a bite and enjoy the beauty of the market. 

Later we'll enjoy another visit to the Fine Arts Museum. Then stop for pinxos.  And we'll make ourselves dinner in our place tonight and go to bed early.

Ok, back to why we've sadly decided against going to San Sebastian today. We've both been unwell, but have tested negative for covid. It's definitely a tummy bug.  Good thing we have experienced Bilbao another time, and sick days aren't keeping us from some shorter excursions. 

Actually, I like it this way. Taking in less means vacationing more.
