...and

So it has been a while and I was putting it off because I wanted to write in Spanish but didn't have any desire to do so, a lot has happened so I'll just have to catch you up in English and then the next one will be in Spanish... maybe? :)

So I went to Valencia the weekend of the 19th of March and had an Amazing time! Here are some pictures!





:( I made a video but it's not loading....



There were soo many people in Valencia, I'm glad I'm not short or I wouldn't have gotten any good pictures or video of the parade hehe. In the video you can see how many people there were, it was soo crowded at one point I could lean back and not fall because we were soo squished. I didn't mind because it was cold, but after the fire started burning it was very very hot that everyone was pushing everyone back. What an experience!

Maria, Stine, Cara and I all went and shared a room in Silla, it was bout a 20 minute train ride to Valencia. We though we were getting a room with 2 twin beds and a double but when we arrived we had an entire apartment, with two rooms and a kitchen! Though the kitchen didn't have any dishes or pots and pans... I shared a room with Stine, and Maria took the one room and Cara slept on the bed in the living room. Stine is from Norway and I thought she was crazy the first night... She came in and turned off the lights and asked if she could take everything off. I thought oh my Norwegians are pretty open and like to sleep nude then she said she didn't want to be claustrophobic. I said it was fine but she wasn't allowed to cuddle me. I was happy for the dark. The next morning I noticed she was still wearing her clothes and I was confused... later it came up and what she meant was could she untuck the sheets? hahaha She said she thought I was weird because after she said that I told her she couldn't cuddle me. lol


The day after all the Fallas we spent walking around Valencia. We went to the beach (but it was cold) I did walk barefoot in the sand, which felt wonderful after all the walking, and dipped my toe in.




We also visited the big science center, we tried to see an Imax but you have to buy those tickets a few days in advance (at least during Fallas weekend :) ) So we only used the bathroom there... haha it was quite a nice bathroom. Haha we also got free entrance into an art exhibit looking for a bathroom, we went in a side door and didn't realize we were supposed to pay until we noticed the ticket booth. We didn't stay long, we were there only to find a potty. lol
Overall we had a really good time! I think if I write anymore it will have to be in a part 2. I'm done for now. ;)
