Still Here

Sorry I didn't post last night.  I was tired and my blisters hurt. We didn't do much.  I slept in and watched Castle in Spanish while Frank wandered around.  He went back to the main post office and mailed our postcards.

After he got back, and rested from the heat, we set off down the Turia towards the Arts & Sciences stuff.  It's really cool!  There's a Gulliver park, which is basically stairs and slides in a vague man shape.  So kids can pretend they're Lilliputians and walk on Gulliver.  There's tons of water features and trees.  There was mini-golf and a cafe.

We finally made it to the Arts & Sciences stuff.  First there's the Opera House.  They have this thing called "culture" here.  I've heard of it, but it can be hard to find in the US.  Next is the Sciences building.  They had different exhibits, but we just rested and I had a chorizo sandwich at the cafe.  Chorizo here is more like a peppered salami.  It was yummy!

There's a walkway down the side of the Sciences center but we went on to the aquarium.  We didn't get in.  The aquarium is big and had dolphin shows and stuff, so it cost almost 30 euros.  We balked at that and headed back.  There's a long "walkway" down the side of the Sciences building.  It's got a pool on the bottom, and palm trees on top.  It's hard to describe, you'll have to see the pictures.

We headed off towards the restaurant section and found a cafe for lunch.  I had ensalada Mediterraneo!  It was similar to the ensalada Valenciana I've had at a bunch of places now.  Valenciana is basically lettuce, tomato, olives, and tuna.  Variations include carrots, egg, and asparagus. For dressing, you get oil, vinegar, and salt.  This cafe had avocado in the salad and it was great! Frank had some kind of chicken, bacon, and cheese sandwich. His was good too.

After lunch we rested up until supper.  My feet hurt a lot, so Frank went to the kebab place to get takeout.  It was closed, so he went to the one around the corner.  It was okay.  The fries were good. So was the taziki.  But the chicken was kind of charred.  Oh well.
