Lady Traveler in Spain: Welcome to Valencia! ... Part 3

Spain in the Fall



No one realizes how beautiful it is to travel until
he comes home and rests his head on his old, familiar pillow.

Part 3
Our European Trip September 2017

One of many beautiful cathedrals in Valencia, Spain

Welcome to Spain!

Inviting.  Friendly.  Festive.  Loud.

Hot (even in September).

Arriving at the Valencia airport, we hailed a taxi.

Driver didn't speak the English and was not clear 

where our flat was located.

I called the flat's owner, Lauren, and handed her over to the driver.

Luckily, my iPhone was working.

(didn't work in Italy...long story)

And luckily, Lauren spoke the English and the Spanish.

  After 20 minutes of wandering through the lovely

city of Valencia, he pulled over on a busy street

and motioned us to get out.

"Where do we go from here?" I asked Rob.

"Quick, call the landlord," he responded. 

Lauren gave me directions and met us halfway down

the cobblestone path that led to our adorable flat.

Brunch with Jason and Xyla at the cafe around the corner from our flat.
Did I mention the food is absolutely out of this world?

I love churches, cathedrals, and museums

Beauty abounds in the cathedrals

We met warm and friendly people along our journey
from all over the world.
Those who spoke the English, we talked and made friends,
and will keep in touch, thanks to Facebook.




Now, lets hop a train to
Barcelona!

See you in Barcelona on my next blog!



May the Lord make your love for one another and for all people
grow and overflow, just as our love for you overflows.
I Thessalonians 3:12

I wish you oceans of travel blessings!
