Today we got up and headed off to find an open market that is only open on Thursdays. We walked and walked some more and finally found it. It was an open street market with food, clothes and the like. I really got to use my spaninsh there. I was my parent's translator!! I
t was fun to walk around and check out all the goods. Tyson + Dave2 = bored men while the woman shop!! hahaha!!!After a while we headed back to the hotel for a bit of rest. Then it was off to find these Roman towers. They were built in 138BC and there were 4 that were connected to a wall that surrounded the city. But only the towers remain. It was a pretty impressive structure with a ginormous wooden door.
As we continued to wonder the streets of the old part of the city we came across a basilica and it seemed to be some sort of mass going on inside. We peaked in and watched for a few. Supposedly there is a church in Valencia that claims to hold the Holy Chalice from Christ's last supper. So we popped in for a gander. Unfortunately we took the wrong way (there were two ways to go once inside the church) and we ended up hiking up a million winding stairs to the top of this tower. it was awful. i hated it. carter did too. he cried the whole time. poor boy. Anyways, we didn't get to see the Chalice.
We found a cute lil cafe for dinner and we had some delish paella and afterwards sipped the most delish cafe con leche. yum! We strolled across the street to a place that sold gelado. Sherry got a purple looking one that was called violets and it tasted like perfume! yuck! she didn't like it and tried pawning it off on somone else! hahahaha! I think Tyson ended up eating it. And that just about sums up our day on Thursday!!
ciao for now...
