6/19/07 Valencia, Spain

Our surroundings around the town

Today is June 19 and we have just arrived in Valencia, Spain we left at 8:30am this morning and arrived here at 1pm. We have just been here for about an hour, and it is very hot here. Today we are going to visit the Holy Grail in a Cathedral in front of Plaza la Reina.

We have just gotten off the bus, and we had to stand out in the hot burning sun waiting for our tour guide, Gary, to come back. The sun was so hot that at the end of the day I had another sun burn, now I have two rings of red, hurtful, burn. While we were waiting I noticed that these two men were standing by a wall looking at us all. I got creeped out. We have been told many times to watch for pickpockets and gypsies because they will rob you blind. We all placed our backpacks and purses in front of us and just watched make sure they did not come near.

While we were walking down the street to come here to a cyber cafe called Ono centro de internet, I saw two ladies sitting at a cafe talking really loudly. I dont know if anybody else noticed but they were talking about us. They were mentioning about how weird we were, they were calling us dumb Americans. I just thought it was funny. I think they noticed that we were because of the map we were looking at to figure out were we were trying to go.

After a long day, it felt so good to lay on the hard but soft to us bed.


Each town we visit is more different than the next, the people the food and the sites. We see so many things in one day that we feel like we have been here for more than one week. Spain is just such a wonderful, place but some of the times it is makes you miss home and appreciate what you have.
