I love Valencia!
After a muoy caliente night, Syd and I wandered the huge covered market here in the city center. There was endless amounts of fruit, meat, spices, nuts, pastries, etc. We got some fruit and then walked through this great park/garden surrounding half the city. It is a great place to ride bikes, run, hang out, and play fútball.
We had some fabulous gelato- Dulce de Leche was the best flavor! Yum!
Then we went out to the port for the America's Cup, an international yacht racing competition. It is a really big event going on in Valencia now. We tried to weasel our way into some of the press lounges or team staging areas, but no luck.
The food here in Valencia is just fabulous. We found this Chocolateria, called Valor, that is 125 years old.
We sent our laundry off with the hostel cleaning lady and we are hoping it all comes back alright. She is only charging us €6 total, we couldn´t have done it ourselves for that cheap!
Sydnee and I are still getting along well and enjoying each other's company. Sometimes it is hard that she is engaged, but I'm reminded to be thankful I can fully enjoy this trip.
Today while we were walking around we went in this baby clothes store that carried gorgeous handmade dresses. They also had a catelog for very unique wedding dresses. ...note to self.
