Valencia

I am starting to get busy with work here so this post will be quick. This weekend in Valencia was awesome, as we got our whole program back together for a 3 day vacation in this historic city. I would say everyone on our trip would agree that Valencia has a much cleaner, prettier look and design to the city than Madrid, though the nightlife was not as great. As a group, we went to a modern art museum Sunday that was ok and took a tour of the city on Friday. On Saturday we spent the whole day at a science museum/aquarium combo. Though we probably spent too much time there, it was still the most interesting stop on our trip. One night we ate dinner at an Irish bar where we got free Paulaner hats and mugs for buying a beer. Then I proceeded to teach the bartender how to make and drink an Irish Car Bomb. Overall a crazy, tiring weekend and am very happy to be on the best program in Madrid. No other trip gets stipends, reimbursements for almost everything, free fancy meals, planned trips with guides and private buses, etc. Everyone here is always jealous when we talk about what perks we get with our program. Going to stop procrastinating now and get back to work.
