O, Valencia!

Valencia Highlights

We did lots of fun things in Valencia. Examples;

Oceanographic - Super fun aquarium with the most marine species in Europe. We saw fish, etc from all over the world!
Museum of Natural Science - Interactive museum with tons and tons of exhibits relating to real-life (science actually became quite interesting) - for example, a station in the ergonomics exhibition about cushion firmness where you could sit on three chairs and see on a screen in front of you how deep your rear is sinking into the cushion. Interesting, but also wicked fun.

Fallas Museum - We JUST missed Fallas by one day. It's a Valencian holiday with tons of partying in the streets and fire and sculptures. The museum showcased the models (some plaster, some foam, some cork or carton) which could be a variety of scenes but were always models of one or more people. They're usually life-size or larger and often were quite realistic.

Torres de Ceranos - These were just outside our front door. They are giant climbable towers with a great view (check out below picture and info!)

American School of Valencia - This is the English speaking school that our host works at (read about her below). We hung out with 5 and 6 year olds for most of the day doing crafts and such and then observed/participated in/helped with a high school dance class taught by our host! so fun!

More soon about France!
