So many bests.

Frank Gehry's Guggenheim stunned me with its shocking yet appealing construction, materials and concept. And Richard Serra's installation was the perfect addition. Surely this is the most beautiful museum building in the world. Traipsing around Bilbao and San Sebastian gave my brother and me the best possible experience of the two cities. Pinxtos and cervezas everywhere. Also dinner at Arzak, a three star family-run restaurant that features dad and daughter in a duet of good food and warm reception. San Sebastian has the greatest number of two and three-star restaurants in the world.

So back to Spanish instruction for me. The old world awaits....
