Valencia - more fun!

So, Valencia is going well. I'm finding my way around and learning enough Spanish to actually talk to people. These pictures are from watching the Spain/Russia game, some delicious tapas at a local place we found (wine, ham & cheese, chorizo sausage), and the Central Market. The market is a famous landmark in Valencia where they sell everything food: meat, cheese, nuts, spices, fruit, vegetables and fish.

There are also some pictures from around town and the main church. It houses the arm of some famous martyr (weird) and maybe the holy grail (I doubt it). But it was pretty and interesting.

Finally, there are a couple of pictures from the beach Saturday night. On the beach at midnight: parents with children, old men that have probably been sitting there for hours talking over tables of food, hundreds of teenagers, 20's and 30's walking along the boardwalk and sitting on the beach.
