Express By H.I.C.Ciencias Valencia

... had his hand in my bag!

But it was the strangest thing, because he didn't "grab" my bag, he literally put his hand IN my bag. And not in a fast, swipe-something kind of way. Just like reaching in. Which I guess wouldn't be surprising if there was something expensive sitting at the top, but there wasn't. It was just my sweatshirt. (Yes, below was my passport, iPhone, money, ay yi yi, but on top it was just a black jacket.) Anyway, I used my Tim voice and said, "HEY ...

... interesting. I saw all the buildings colored in white with bright orange outlines. Huge stone towers stood on opposite sides of the city at one time used for protecting and overlooking the city. Also the city has an enormous garden running all along the border underneath the bridges and it is wonderful for strolling through on a sunny afternoon. The architecture has this similar style as the past two southern places I visited with lots of bright oranges and ...

In 6 days we cycled from Barcelona to Valencia. We followed the coastline, sometimes via a busy national road with lot's of trucks and sometimes we escaped this by taking other (almost deserted streets), posh promenades or small walking paths next to the sea. We passed many deserted cities, which will probably be a consumers paradise in summer. (everywhere they are still building more apartment flats, in spite of the "economical ...

Exposition de Sorolla, artiste peintre espagnol natif de Valence. Il a décrit l'espagne du début du XXe siècle sur d'immenses fresques. Isabel est enchantée de me faire découvrir sa ville et les trésors dont elle regorge. Mais mon besoin de liberté recommence à se faire sentir.. l'envie de continuer la route reprend le dessus!

"Baptism by fire"

We've visited the tile company for whom we will be doing our Mrkt Comm plan for.

I think the course load will be manageable. A bit heavy with numerous classes.

I've gotten to go running some in the Turia but still ...

Between 22nd and 24th of dec. 2008 we visited Valencia and some smaller rural villages in the region, like Segorbe, Navajas and Betera. At least we were lucky to find the hostal Azai in Betera, where we spent one night. It´s quite difficult finding a neat and economic place to stay. The mentioned place is ok for one or two days, if you want to spend a while on the countryside.

... and then hanging out with the locals again tonight while attempting to polish my broken espanol. We have booked a train to Algericas tomorrow morning that will make us ready to go into Morocco first thing Friday morning!! After we leave Morocco we have an overnight train from Granada to Barcelona the night/morning of the 12/13 which will allow us to spend the last few days and my birthday in Barcelona!!! From the little amount of time we ...

... the bottom. Good Times!!!! The next day I had to head back to Reus. But during the day we were walking around and there was a sign that told us the temperature. January 2, 2007 at about 1pm and its 25ºC. Now that's the warmest New Year I've ever had. And that ends my Christmas holidays. Back to teaching. Don't have another holiday until April. Over here its a week off for Easter. HA HA!!!!
