Valencia!!!

Hello from Valencia!!

We visited L'Oceangrafic today (basically, it´s like a Sea World park combined with an aquarium...it was fun but a little overpriced). It is also Spain´s second most visited attraction, only the Prado museum in Madrid gets more visitors annually. The favorite creatures that we saw were the Beluga whales (not that anyone cares...but Beluga whales have green poop). The weather here is very warm, about 80 degrees. We are enjoying the Spanish Tapas and the Horchata (it is made differently than at home-with an ingredient called "chufa", which they say is special for this region). They also spell it differently here (Orxata). When we were in Paris we thought it was funny that no restaurants would serve dinner until after 7pm, but in Spain the places don´t open for dinner until 9m. Last night, we finished our dinner at 11pm and the restaurant was still packed with diners when we left. Every is just on a different clock here.

V has passed on her coughing illness to P. She tried to see a doctor today but was informed he only works on Fridays. She will miraculously heal herself tonight during her sleep. Even with the nagging coughs, we are not letting it ruin our fun.

Tomorrow we are off to Madrid to see their museums and hopefully eat many more tapas.

Bye for now,

V&P
