Two of these were two women from Bilbao, Spain who were getting training to teach English back in Spain while also getting their Advanced Degrees and Teaching Spanish at the University of Minnesota.
I got talking with them about their lives in Bilbao and up came their experiences with Basque separatists and bombings in that area and in Spain. I grew up around some Basques who live in Northern Nevada. They had/have some really good family restaurants in Reno, Nevada.

These two ladies did not really want to talk about Basques in Nevada because they always would think of the Basque separatists who bombed places near and in Bilbao.
