nopictures yet. but here is VALENCIA!!!

i am here safely! i love and miss ya sososoos much
ok so heres my day!woke up at 6 am YIKES!!! and we got everything ready the night before so it wasnt too bad... we just had to make our sandwiches... then we go to the train station and it was sosososo easy to get to! we walked straight from the metro station to it without even having to go outside! we figure out where we are supposed to go and i was a little nervous bc we had to put our bags thru the XRay machines and i had a knife in my bag for peanut butter but it was alllllllllll good... the people never even asked us for our ids it was so so easy. we board the train and we dont sit by eachother but its ok!! im awake for a little while looking out the window and it was awesome... we are by the coast for a lot of it so its neat to see the waves then we go thru the moutains and i liked that. at one of the stops one lady sits next to me and i fall asleep and when i wake up again a new lady was ther! i was nervous at that `point bc im like oh my i might sleep thru the valencia stop! so i kwas awake pretty much after taht! so then wwe get here and we walk to our hostel and its so nice called rednesthostel.com if you want to check it out!! we we get our rooms... 50 euros for 3 nights so thats good and they even like upgraded us to a 4 person room for no extra cost so then we drop off our stuff and go walk aroundand omg valencia is beautiful! i was worrid that we wouldnt have a lot to do but i was wrong!! it is so amazing and right when we decided to go outside the sun came out and it got warm!! we went to like 4 cathedrals RIGHT next to eachother and man theyre awesome its so different from Barcelona bc Val eventything is so much closer together and you can walk everywhere and in BArc you have to take the metro put i like all the parks and flowers Val has! then we camd back after like 2 hours and took naps bc we were so tired! and then woke up and went of this street of shopping and its so weird im not even that worried that people are going to pickpocket me like i am in barcelona. maybe bc theres a lot less people and tourists! i got a shirt for less than 3 euros! and then kris got these boots shes been wanting! so then it was dark and like 730 at that point... so we came back, met our roomies... they´re italian! but they are such nice girls they invited us to hang out with them last night hahha
so we went to dinner at this incredible place that our conceirge person reccomended! and it was dirt cheap and delicious! and guess waht... i ordered a class of wine which ws 1.3 euros!! and it said 3/8 on the menu so i thought it would only be that full but it was a whole class and i obviously couldnt drink all of it! but it was ncie! and i got tortilla espanola and that is my fav food here so then we decided to go to this latino bar and we walk in and its super shady and there is like Che stuff everywhere and its not really latino so kris just gets a drink and then leaves ASAP!... then we go to this other place whee we can get free sangria and it was so goooood it was fruity! and i would eat all the pears and apples that they put in it! then we go to this other place and get free Agua de Valencia which is like the most famous drink here... made with Valencia oranges... it was ok to strong but i watered it down haah and thnwe go to this other place and kris get a drink and we are chillin and stuff then i realize i dont have my phone so im freaking out and we leave and we go to one of the places we were just at but they didnt have it and we go back to the Hostel and VOILA!! it was in between the matress and the wall hahah so taht was funny!
