Valencia

Seriously I just wrote about Valencia TWO DIFFERENT TIMES AND MY BLOG WON'T POST IT. mierda. this is annoying

In short: Valencia is on the eastern coast of Spain and is the 3rd largest city in the country, even though it doesn't feel like it. We got there early Saturday and went to the largest market in Europe (or the world, i forget) which was really cool, and then spent the day at the beach which was beautifulll- great weather.
For dinner, a lot of people on my program were there, so the majority of us ate together at this paella restaurant (Valencia is the birthplace of paella)- DELISH. Afterwards, we headed to a bar for some obligatory chupitos (shots), agua de valencia (orange juice, cava, and various other alcohols) and sangria. Then onto a club called Las Animas de la Playa which was a 2 story outdoor club that was pretty fun once the night got started (like 2 hours after we came... getting used to Spanish time is a process)

The next day, needless to say, we were quite tired but still toured the Church of Valencia and the Miguelete (very peaceful and beautiful), and walked to la Ciudad de las Ciencias y las Artes (really cool architecture)

After two long days, we were home around 12:30 for some much needed sleep. This blog is really boring/sounds like the trip wasn't that fun, but it was GREAT because so many people from the program were there and the weather was perrrrfect both days. I'm just too lazy to detail more/ honestly if my blog messes up again I'm gonna break something.

My upcoming week will be pretty tame because I need to save up my energy for next weekend- OKTOBERFEST!
