hello all,
just to let you know we are in spain (not london for those of you who were wondering (sad news)). london is next week...although we may stay here a while longer now?
we are in valencia at the moment - the home of the orange (and yummy agua valencia - OJ + champange + vodka). it is beautiful. spain is alot easier to travel around than south america, but we feel less special! been seeing some cool stuff, eating good food and trying to avoid the piano accordian players on every corner. they have an awesome central market around the corner from us (alot like the one in adelaide i guess) which is fun to walk around checking out how they do things differently.
went to the science/arts centre (weird otherwordly architecture) and rohan spent quite a bit of time fascinated with a fire hydrant (he thought it was a display!) he will kill me for this. but it was funny.
congratulations to liz and jerry on getting hitched (9/7).
love to you all.

hola r&a,
Good that you are enjoying Valencia. I was there in february '63. It was cold, rainy and the landlady of the pensione was desperate that not too much hot water be used...not too much danger of that because the electrically heated tank was not much bigger than a billy can. It was the Spain of General Franco, very poor, very cheap to travel, concrete hotels being thrown up on any spot near a piece of sandy beach.
After the freezing cold of Germany & France in one of the worst winters on record, it was really nice to get to some warmth in Alicante, Malaga & Gibraltar.
..keep enjoying things,
..lots of love toyou both,
..otherdad
