"Damn it Wife, I don't care if it is my turn to be the enlisted person, I am not wearing the red tunic and dying."
"de-I, I am the Commander for this mission and ElderFleet Command rules state quite clearly that, "An away mission must contain at least one enlisted person who shall 1) wear a red tunic and shall 2) die during the course of said away mission."
"Fine, fine, fine. But let's see how you feel when your over easy eggs are made by a dead person tomorrow morning.
Yes dear readers it is time for another Eldership away mission. Our intrepid crew will be taking one of the many Nervion River Cruises that ply the estuary between Bilbao and Getxo. Wife and I have a weakness for these kinds of low key boat rides. They are a good way for us to chill a bit after particularly strenuous touring days. There is always the adventure of getting in and out of the boat which for some reason is always a bit of a challenge.
In this case, we are on a really bare bones operation with little in the way of seating comfort. The only place that had a good view for photography was in front where there was actually only one small seat. I ended up standing most of the way.
The story of modern Bilbao is one of a city that has pulled itself up from industrial decline. However, there is still ample evidence of that decline and this cruise showed it in spades.

We depart from the Center City, Modern, Vibrant
Monument to river cruise customers everywhere
Past the Guggenheim again
If it is a river, they fish
And into the post-industrialization period
Reminders of War of the Worlds
The Dutch Entrepreneur
The Dutch Entrepreneur's Wife
The Bizkaia Bridge
Built in 1897, and truly and unusual design
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH
