Day 9: Valencia

Today I made it to Valencia! Valencia is located on the east coast of Spain on the the Mediterranean Sea. As I stepped off the bus in this great city, it reminded me of Madrid, only smaller. Our tour guide Gary said that, ¨The city is growing, and will only get bigger¨. The scene of the city is that of a Hollywood movie. People everywhere were wearing their stylish clothing and the backdrop of beautiful buildings just caught your eye. Today the weather in Valencia was plain out hot and reminded me of back home.

The streets are lined with motorcycles which seems to be the best way of getting around. Today my gang and I are going to go visit the local market which is the best in all of Spain and then go see the Holy Grail. This will definitely be one of the highlights of my trip, to be able to see the actual chalice used by Jesus Christ during the Last Supper.

To all my readers and my dear family, I miss you so much and can´t wait to get back home. My trip is going great, and I´ve experienced so much. However, as Dorthy said, ¨Theres no place like home¨.
