We left Loarre at sunrise, and the trip through the Pyrenees mountains was stunning and all alone ours. Through great rock mountains and then opening into vast valleys of fertile wealth. Wheat in abundance and deep yellowed fields of flowering rapeseed. Rothko would have laid down his brushes. The dry and arid spaces of east, central Spain were replaced with green mountain landscapes reminiscent of Switzerland and Austria. By midday we eased into Bilbao to spend our whole Sunday afternoon at the Gunngihiem. Two seminal works, Serra’s piece “The Matter of Time”, and a massive wall piece, “Rising Sea” by Ei Anatsui were worth the ticket. Also, “Infinity, Mirrored Room, A Wish for Human Happiness Calling from Beyond the Universe” by Yayoi Kusama, an emersive experience of infinte space was meaningful.
We ended our sabbath with prayers At St Jose of Montana church in downtown Bilbao, and an online message from my brother at his church in the foothills of Appalachia. Sunday morning coming down from Bilbao Spain. lee
