I can sing better than Nicole Kidman.

Hostelling has been a blessing in disguise. I think Dana and I would be bored to death if we had began our journey in Getxo as we were supposed to. The past two nights we may not have done much, but we have had a lot of fun. Our first night here we made friends with three Chileans. We had already gone out for pintxos and drinks with our Russian friend from the hostel, and come back. They were up watching football and we began drinking more, when we all finally headed out to what must have been the only two open bars in Bilbao. Everything closes around 10:30, have I mentioned that? But we wandered a good half hour away and found some bars that played Spanish and American music, where the boys attempted to teach us how to dance. We wandered the empty streets, yelling and talking, and didn´t get in until 6am. They left the following morning, which was a shame, they were so much fun. They´re traveling to about nine more cities over the next two months.
EDIT! Found a charger:

Cerveza y pintxos en el Casco Viejo

The only people out past 1am in Bilbao Centro

Last night was more relaxed...first we went to a parade for Three Kings Day, which is bigger than Christmas around here. The streets were packed with families and children and the parade consisted of people in costumes of the Three Kings, pelting the crowd with candies that said "Bilbao." We got churros and hot chocolate, then wandered and got drinks at a few bars.

We ended up back at the hostel around 11pm again, where two Americans and an Indian were sitting with Edarto, the Vasco (Basque) man who works the overnight shift at the hostel. We all ended up talking until 3am, about our different languages, cultures, mostly about India since none of us had been there. Ashwani is from Jaipur, and is going to university near the Guggenheim, but living in the hostel until he can find something more permanent. He´s cool, he gave me a henna tattoo with a LePen that has mostly washed off by now but I took a picture. He also wrote out all of our names in Hindi so we could see the script....it´s interesting that the Hindi names are much more beautiful than the translated English words, the script was really meant for the Hindi language. We watched Baliwood and listened to a strange assortment of the Corrs cover of "Everybody Hurts," Pussycat Dolls, Anti Sociales (mi favorito), Nicole Kidman and Robbie Williams, etc. It was a sort of stream of consciousness YouTube session, as most are.

Today Dana and I are running to Radio America to look for a new adapter...our $30 ones from the states don´t work on our laptops, which is why I still haven´t uploaded pictures. Apparantly we can get ones for 1 Euro here that work.
Time to go somewhere, it´s almost noon here.
Adios,
Kelsey
