Seven of us traveled to Valencia (SE coast) this past weekend and let me just say- BEA.UT.IF.ULLLL!!! We started off hitting up the aquarium (largest in Europe) and going to the Science museum. I saw the penguins, so I was one happy camper! Also, this whole area with all the museums is just a structural feat! It looks so cool!:
Also, at the science museum- I witnessed a miracle!!! The hatching of a chicken! (It might not sound like a big deal...but it really really is. I loyally stood by and waited like 45 mins for that little guy to overcome his challenge of breaking through the shell and coming into the world...it was really precious...I videotaped it)

The next day we spent at the beach and the port. The weather was perrrrrfect. (Like 65-70 degrees, but semi-cloudy...which was great because you could take pictures and not be squinty!!) Oh and on this day we tried the traditional Valencian cuisine...
 |
| Chicken & Rabbit Paella (soooo good!) |
 |
| Horchata...(tiger nut milk...not so good) |
Other awesome things we did in Valencia= watched small children (I know, sounds creepy...kind of was creepy if we're being honest...but there are the most precious tots just running rampant through Valencia...adorable), went to this great art museum, ate smurf gelato (twice...) and had an AVE experience!! (The high speed train in spain...300 km/hr) And not to mention all the great bonding throughout the weekend. I think if you ever want to really find out about a person, and get to know them well, you just have to travel with them for like 2-3 days- it really does make all the difference. :)
It was such a great weekend. I feel refreshed, renewed, rejuvinated and ready to conquer some papers and homework for the next couple weeks!! Happy Monday!!
Con Amor,
Rachel
