May 21st


Alright, so yesterday after class we went back home to lunch…Let’s just say that lunch was…interesting. We had some kind of meatballs (I don’t know what kind…and I don’t want to think about it…but it tasted like ravioliJ) and we also had this green stuff that looked like baby food….it was spinach and potatoes and something else all puréed together…yeah…didn’t eat that. Haha(: Around 6:00 the class met up and we went on a short bus tour of the city…so here are some pictures from the tour!


  Here is a drive by of the beach(:





This is the place the Ernest Hemingway hung out 
with friends and wrote a lot of his stories! 


 This is one of the gates to the city when the city was enclosed by walls. 
You can see the damage on the outside of them caused by cannonballs. 


After this we went out to a Tapas Bar. Tapas are like our appetizers and they’re so good! We had calamari, croquetas (looks like a corndog nugget but ham or chicken inside), patatas bravas (fierce potatoes), chorriso (sausage), morcia (blood sausage), olives, bread, and tortillas de patatas (potato tortillas). It was amazing! I tried everything except the blood sausage and olives, but everything else was amazing! Afterwards a group of us walked around and got gellatos and went to some shops were I found this amazing store with jewelry, makeup, sunglasses….EVERYTHING I LOVE!(: Later today we will be going to El Museo de Historia de Valencia (The History Museum of Valencia). So be expecting LOTS of pictures.

Adios!
