Valencia








Took the 7am bus from Salamanca to Madrid, then the noon bys from Madrid to Valencia. Have been staying at low budget hostels in Spain using hostelworld.com so far. Most of the hostels are dorm style which is different for us after SE Asia and the cheap accomidations.

Found a place to stay in Valencia that is a room in an apartment. SICK views! It is located in the New Valencia part of town - literally just across the street form the City of Arts & Sciences designed by Santiago Calatrava. Amazing modern buildings.

We walked into town from here via the Turia Gardens. There was a cool fountain by the Museo Bellas Artes that changed along with music that played over a loudspeaker. Fun to be in the park on a Saturday when everyone was out & about!

There is a little chihuahua puppy here named Martin! I am sort of in love with him and want to take him with me.

Today we are jumping on the train to Barcelona! The train station in Valencia is beautiful. I am looking forward to train travel after so much time on busses.

Morgan will already be in Barcelona when we arrive! So excited to see her. It is crazy that today is the last day that Jesse and I will be traveling alone together. It has been such an adventure figuring everything out as we go...and somehow we made it! Just 2 weeks left. Time flies....
