Day 3!

Well today was interesting! It started off with a knock on the door from a friend on the trip asking if me and my roommate were up! That is never good! We ended up sleeping in, either my alarm didn't go off or I shut it off in my sleep, missed breakfast, and were late getting to the meeting room to leave to tour Valencia, Spain. I find it quite funny now that I think about it, but this morning it was not fun getting ready in 5 minutes and having to put my make-up on at the metro stop!

Anyways, we rode the metro for the first time here and we went to the older part of Valencia and toured some cathedrals, and saw the Holy Grail! It was really awesome to see all the art work! We also climbed over 300 steps to the top of a cathedral where you can see all of Valencia! Climbing those steps definitely made me feel out of shape because it was tiring and by the time I reached the top my legs were shaking, but it definitely was worth it! Here is what we saw when we finally reached the top!

We also got to do some shopping! On Sunday's it's like a little flee market in the older part of Valencia and there are little booths everywhere where you can find cute clothing, jewelery, dishes, and many other things for not that expensive! It was awesome! It was interesting when trying to speak with the people who were selling the items because they did not know any English at all and I only knew a little bit of Spanish. So that was fun and definitely made me think about how people who do not speak English visit our country and have a hard time communicating with us! I now understand how that is!
While we were in this area we also got to see a wedding that was just ending and the bride and groom were leaving the church! It was cool to see everybody dressed up for the event and see how they celebrate it! (The bride is in the middle of the picture and the groom is to her right.)

After a long day touring and shopping and lots of walking, I spend the afternoon and evening at the beach with some friends! It was really relaxing and there were not as many people there as there were yesterday when we went! We also had a little taste of home....Burger King! It was very good after eating other foods the past couple of days there were not familiar to any of us!

Oh and I had gelato today!! It was yummy!!

Well tomorrow we are going to Morella! It should be fun!
Have a good day!
