Valencia

Yesterday we went to Valencia. We had some transportational adventures, but it all worked out well. We stayed on the bus too long going to the train station. We thought there was only one bus and the station was the end of the line, but, evidently, we were wrong. Fortunately, we ended up at a hospital, and they called us a cab.

Valenica was beautiful, and the weather was perfect. We walked around an old neighborhood, saw a cool city wall and gate, and had some great food. We're pooped from yesterday, so day we're just chilling. Tomorrow we're going back and taking a tour on a hop-on, hop-off bus. Tonight, we'll have dinner at a restaurant on the beach. The food is very inexpensive here, and the wine is good and really cheap! We bought wine at the duty-free shop in Frankfurt and carried it (very heavy!) here, but we could have bought it here for 1/4 the price. House wine is less than $2 a glass, and it's not bad!

Well, that's it for now. If you're reading this blog, please write me a note just so I know that someone's looking at it.

Hi Peggy!
I'm loving your blog. It's a nice little "virtual" vacation. It sounds like your having a really good time. Look forward to hearing more....

Peggy,
I love your blog. The pictures are beautiful and I would love to be looking at old walls and neighborhoods and drinking $2.00/glass wine. This sounds like my kind of trip. No news from the Magic sitter, so things must be fine. It was 93 here yesterday. Mike Steiner's retirement party was on Tuesday. Look at everything you're missing.

Hi Peggy, it is so fun to hear what is going on with your travels in a different part of the world. Upload some more pictures with you in them doing fun things! We just got done with a meeting with Carlos. He updated us on the new vision for ICT. It is hot again today--you are missing great weather. I am sure it will be raining again when you come back. If you happen to see an interesting pebble of some kind, bring it back. I collect pebbles from all over the world for fun. It is more interesting than collecting salt/pepper shakers:)
