Valencia

The land where historic meets modern. From old blue tiled towers, to the new Arts and Sciences complex, Valencia is great to get lost in... i would know! Slept off Granada and the train ride my first night here, then got up early and hit the beach with some girls in my room. The beach was busy, but not too bad, and the water was perfect- could have been a little cooler. The salty water was fun for floating around, and cooling off. Though, it is pretty humid here, and you never seem to get dry.

Today I walked along the old river park for a frew miles before going to the Arts and Sciences complex. About 60 years ago, the river flooded the city in a meter of water, so they diverted the river and turned the space into a long stretch of parkland that borders the city. Lots of trees, shade, futbol fields, fountains, vesivals, and a concert venue.

Checked out the Arts and Science place, and got a ticket to the science exhibit. Very interactive, and lots of fun! Learned that i have a ¨greek¨ foot (only 22 percent of people have it), and learned all about magnets, brains, climate change, technology, boats, and the science behind comic books. Had a lot of fun being silly with the super heroes. some of it was definitely geared toward kids, but there were almost all adults there, and i had a lot of fun touring it with a friend from the hostel.

Tomorrow will be a bit more sight seeing, and then it is off to Barcelona... la ciudad de mi corazon... for a bit more exploring before i head back to the states. (Flickr wont upload, so that will have to wait)
