After getting about, a solid, 4 hours of sleep I was up at 10 and ready for our bus ride to Albufera. Albufera is the largest wetlands in Spain. We took a tour in a boat and sailed through the stream until we got to one of the oldest houses in Valencia. There we watched a video about the wetlands and explored a little before we had an hour of free time. We ended up at this gorgeous beach for most of the time. The sand wasn't rough and there were pebbles and stones around the shore and in the water. The water wasn't freezing, but in my opinion it was definitely cold.
We made our way back from the beach to eat paella, of course, at a restaurant in the town. It was this huge, huge pan of paella and it was delicious. They were scooping so much onto our plates, it was too much to finish. Once lunch was done we got back on the bus and headed home.
I took a nap and met Jacqueline and Dara at their apartment around 7pm. I made chocolate banana bread, we only added the chocolate because we didn't have vanilla, but it was great banana bread. We finished the loaf in one sitting. They attempted to make quiche to get rid of food because we'll be gone all next week. It was, eh, not, it was kind of bad...but the bread was good! The quiche was grey and tasted similar to fish sticks, as Jacqueline said. There was no fish in the quiche. I ate banana bread. After dinner I just stayed at their apartment for a while. I Skyped Becca, well, I attempted to Skype Becca...we were having difficulties I could barely hear her, but she could hear everything going on around me. It was rough. Then the topic of traveling to Berlin came up and that sounds like it will take place sometime in November. We've got another trip to plan!
