Valencia for the Last 3 Days (nov 26-23)


Sorry about the lack of updates, I felt bad over the 23 and 24 and really didn't do much of anything. The last few days I've been catching up on things I wanted to do, like hit up markets, shop for stuff for people for home, and do 15 of Valencias 36 contemporary art gallery's. You'd think I would have my fill of dots, lines and squares, but ironically I bought really nice one off of a local artist. I'll take a picture of it once I unpack it in the peg. I've also been to like 3 markets in two days. A guy can only take so many large crowds moving at the rate of an old woman. Although I like Valencia, or more so the central market of Valencia. (http://www.mercadocentralvalencia.es/) The place is like this massive incredibly fresh superstore. It's a farmers market that has different stands for different things, so you can get the same fruit from like 20 guys. Honestly I have no idea how many stands that place has, but I do know food for the last few days has been really quite good! So I have picked up some things, I'll look for some more. I also like the age of the city, it feels like it has a lot more historical weight to it than some of the other places I've been. Note, the pictures have nothing do with this post, and were taken last night... nice eh?
