ELLEN \ USA

The Bilbao trip was wonderful, with a congenial small group led by congenial yoga and art leaders Erin and Julian. Highlights included the exceptional and well positioned hotel, exploration of the Guggenheim Museum and the city it helped to rebuild as a tourist mecca, and visits north to the beautiful Basque coast and south to Rioja wineries. I particularly treasured the morning art sessions aimed at showing us the art of photography and how to enhance iPhone photos. I admit to not wanting to like yoga but I did give it a try!
