Our Apartment in Valencia - It Stinks!
... these suckers are everywhere and we are finding them even after five days of searching. For those of you following along with the math - we have - up to this point - collected and removed about 100 air freshener devices of some sort!
Although the apartment is smelling much less toxic and much more natural, Wade and I are a bit concerned about that. When we strip away the air fresheners and finally find them ALL (which I am sure we have not) are we going to smell the scent ...
Catching up on Blogging!

Sweet Valencia
... old buildings, cobblestone streets, street performers, sky scrapers, beaches, orange trees, everything. It's pretty unbelievable. So we bought some wine cheese strawberries and had a picnic down at the port and met some friends at the beach and spent the rest of the day exploring and trying not to get hit by crazy Spanish drivers. The adventure came to an end after we climbed a billion ...
