sooo theres good news and bad news. i guess ill start with the bad news. we got robbed on the beach yesterday in valencia. sucksssss. passports, cameras, money, credit cards, everything. BUT the good news is that they found everything except the cameras. which is an absolute miracle. they said they have on average 20 people get things stolen everyday from that area of the beach alone. thats disgusting. anyways we did go to the beach yesterday. it is GORGEOUS. the sand bar extends for a really long time and the water is sooo warm and the sun is really intense. even justin got a little burned. it really is perfect. the eurocup finals was last night as well and as you all shoudl know, spain was in the finals. they won and the city went crazy. i´ve never seen anything like it. for hours afterwards we were all in the city square, thousands of people, yelling, jumping, screaming, singing, chanting. it was unreal. it didnt stop until around 4am. tons of fun.

the food in valencia is very good as well. apparently paella originated here and their version is unreal. they make it w chicken and rabbit and its sticky rice and yummmyyyyy. valencia is also a beautiful city. not like seville, but maybe im just pumping it up a little bit bc im sooo excited about the beach. we are going to the beach today and prob tomorrow and then we leave for barcelona. i had met some great people on the train ride here(it was a night train, miserable), they were going to barcelona, while we were going to valencia. all americans. one is studying abroad in barcelona and offered us a place to stay which might be very nice. who knows. free is always nice. i hope everyone is in good health. love to you all
