Today we took a day trip to Valencia. We went on a private tour
around the city for the first half of the day and then went to their
famous science museum and aquarium. Touring around the city was my
favorite part. We got to see their huge central market which is one of
the largest in Europe (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie rented it out once).
We stood in the building where Christopher Columbus was given the
financing for his trip that lead to the discovery of North America.
My
favorite part, we walked through the most beautiful/breathtaking
cathedral i’ve ever seen. This cathedral has the original cup of Jesus
that has been carbon-dated back to the last supper. Lastly, we didn’t
get to view the exhibit, but we got a glimpse of the underground Roman
ruins that the entire city is built on top of. Wow. Overall the whole
trip was amazing and I really wish I had more than a day in this
beautiful, historic city.
