Valencia!!! 10/18-10/19

Should be studying for a test tomorrow but here is a bit about my weekend! 
Valencia is a weird mix of old and new. Common to see an old fortress/castle thing right next to modern apartment buildings. We spent the first day exploring the city center. 

Lots of weird graffiti.... 

Most of it very colorful.

We saw a really pretty sunset.

And found the Cathedral. I think this is the millionth one I have seen now. Was quite large and had beautiful gold detailing on the inside.

The next day we walked through the park that runs through the city and I watched Rugby for the first time.

Then we climbed to the top of what is left of  the old city wall "Towers of Serranos" and viewed the city.

We walked through the park for about 2 hours until we reached the  Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències (city of arts and Sciences.  This is the Hemisphere(We watched an IMAX movie about the hidden parts of the Universe) and the Museum of Arts. 

More Futuristic buildings at the Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències.


Watched some baby chicks hatch in the Science Museum. 


Fiona in the Future.

Me in the Future. 
Next stop was the Aquarium where we found Sea Lions all the way from Oregon (Not really...)

Walked through a Tunnel of sharks.

Saw a Beluga whale for the first time.

A tired Walrus.

We went to a Dolphin show which was pretty amazing. The Dolphins behave better then most people's dogs I know.




Walked through a few more fish tunnels such as the Mediterranean...

And the Tropics.
