Hotel Nh Las Artes Valencia

...And, to think. I did all that. And may I say -- not in a shy way. Oh no. Oh no, not me. I did it my way.<br><br>Okay, okay!!! Stop the music!!! Silence the band!!! The trip isn't over yet.<br><br>But it is true, I am officially in the last week of my European travels. And other than the food challenges that I've mentioned, Spain has been very good to me. Though Mizz Valencia is being coy and keeping her sunny skies veiled with a drab, white, overcast haze. Hmpf. But ...

... We went into the bars though and salsa danced then drank enormous mojitos at a gelato bar and watched the young kids having very dramatic breakups and fights out the window it was quite entertaining. I loved experiencing this holiday in a different country but I did miss celebrating at home. <br> My last day I visited a few things like cathedrals and stuff but I was so tired from partying and I look an afternoon train to barcelona with the girl from Norway!

... now... recycling our food! Since Barcelona our mindset seem to have shifted... We will never look at supermarkets the same again... better we will think twice before entering them. <br>Before supermarkets where places you needed to visit in opening hours, important was to focus on what you really needed in order not to buy too much (better not to be hungry when entering) and to check product information in order to buy locally ...

... managed to screw up public transportation just enough one day to get in a good 6-7km of walking in. Maybe that was to burn some of our newly accumulated calories? We spent much time at the incredible Cuidad de las Artes y Ciencias at their Oceanografic attraction. I annoyed Will all day long with comments like "this is so San Diego. Sea World has this. Valencia IS San Diego." But the actual architecture of Ciudad de las Artes y ...

Johana and I stayed a long weekend with my parents in our apartment in Alcossebre. It was about time to visit again as I realize its been more than a year since last time we went. After all it is just a 4.5 hour drive down there from Madrid. Except for a short trip to Valencia we spent the days eating tapas and soaking up the sun. The water temperature was perfect for an early June weekend!

... a bit... back in Valencia...and like expected the weather was superb! The romanian driver who was supposed to take us to Madrid never answered to our calls...and we found that the cheapest way reach the airport is to rent a car. Thats the good thing with travelling with so many mates...the transport expenses are lower. Goodbye to our friends in Valencia...we'r gonna miss Frida! Little sleep in the airport and off we go... Canada...here we come.. we r ready for the 8hour flight over Atlantic.

... was very popular in the 1980s. Our professor explained that it was also a good example of the liberations Spaniards felt after the death of Franco. It seems that another unique thing about Spain is that they went very liberal very fast after the death of Franco, more so than one would expect from a once very conservative country. La boda de cristal was really interesting to watch. It was a children's show, but the clip we saw showed a man ...

... towns (amalfi, positano, etc...) so basically you just do hikes, beach (if the weather's good), tours, etc... Ahh yeah, we didn't realize that it would be like 40 degrees the entire time we were there in addition to raining half the time. We each brought 1 sweater each so we ended up wearing basically the same outfit for the whole 10 days. Gross but what can you do? Let's just call them our "uniforms." So yeah, Spring break was basically a family vacation. We stayed at ...

... the first couple and actually had some idea what I was doing, so fairly confidentally answered him that I think I had it when he asked me how I was doing. Deciding to test the mettle of his only American (there was a German in the class but he'd been here for a year so that didn't count), he invited me up to the board to demonstrate my prowess. As you can probably guess from the build-up to this story, I flopped miserably. The problem consisted of a ...
