Tryp Oceanic Valencia

... debating whether to put it all on your back or to distribute the contents into a hand held bag as well that will make your arm lose circulation but relieves some back stress. (I know, woe is me, poor little European traveler. No sympathy, I get it.) Anyway, I opted for the 2-pack for this travel day. I knew I was going to be on a long bus ride so I had my computer and books and earphones, etc. in a smaller bag. The hulking backpack that looks like a tightly wrapped ...

... Even the train station was decorative in this way. I constantly stopped to snap pictures of random buildings. <br> The only thing not so appealing is that only the center of the city is beautiful the outside looks like a rundown modern area. In the center you have all the old cathedrals, a marvelous common marketplace open every day selling fresh fruits and vegetables and on sunday outside there are many tables selling cheap clothes and other random ...

Valencia city - a city of contrasts; filled with gorgeous examples of period structures, modern shopping havens, cafes along the beach boardwalk and bang, smack in the middle - the Communidad's answer to futuristic architecture. The Valencian Communidad has spared no expense on these extravagent showpieces, in a complex that houses the science museum, IMAX theatre, arts museum etc, separated by large pools of tranquil water - no doubt the America's Cup was a catalyst ...

... to be as common at home. When Sunny got back we decided to tour the main city center, Barrio Carmen. We walked there so we could see the sights along the way. Valencia used to have a river that ran through it, but in the 1950's it flooded badly and they drained the river. They then turned it into a huge park. It is really interesting to see. When we got to the city centre it was lunch time. One of the hardest things to get ...

... asked me where I was from, I told him Ohio and he said that I seemed like i'd be someone from the west. I said my state was in the east, he laughed and said "That's what i meant. America is west for me, so I always think west." I had some type of cheese sandwich and 2 glasses of wine (Gloria bought them for me as a welcoming gift). When SPain scored, everyone freaked and started hugging each other. In general ...

... doesn't last that long. If you're in PETA, just skip to the next day's entry. I don't care if meat is murder... A bull fight works like this.... The bull is introduced into the ring and "tested". The matadors assistants wave capes around and aggravate the bull while the matador watches it's strength and speed. Round 1 begins when two men on horseback enter the ring and stab the bull in the neck to weaken it's neck muscles. The bull doesn't just sit and let this ...

... things don't occur every day they are supposed to. They had a paella cooking class at our hostel on Tuesdays as well but that won't occur for the same reason. So instead of the bike tour we decided to walk down Valencia's main park to the sea. The main city park is rather unique in that it occupies a large dried up river-bed that runs through the center of the city all the way out to the sea (the park stops before ...

... streets I stumbled across a homemade mascleta which was pretty fun to watch. The entire street had been hung with pretty strings of multicolored fireworks. The group of people were in the middle of pushing a large parked van out of the line of fire. Once everything had been set up, the area was cleared and two ladies were given the honor of lighting the fuse after a short speech. I was pretty close to them and ...
