When we were in Lisbon on our cruise earlier in the year I saw this cat jumping out of a door. You can tell by the scratch marks on the paint work that this moggy had used this method of escape more than once. Even though this was at the end of May the locals still had their Christmas decorations up, or maybe they were just a bit early for this year.
As a result of industrial action by the French we had to make alternative arrangments for one of the days, and as a result we went to the Spanish city of Bilboa. There we found the Guggenheim Museum designed by Frank Gehry. The curves on the building have been designed to appear random. The architect has been quoted as saying that "the randomness of the curves are designed to catch the light".Sited as it is in a port town, it is intended to resemble a ship. Its brilliantly reflective titanium panels resemble fish scales.
