I had a pretty good weekend.
On Friday, Matthias and I went downtown and I had the chance to try
churros with chocolate. It was so
flavorful and filling that I couldn’t finish it. The chocolate was pure melted chocolate. It was very tasty.
On Saturday, Nancy, Matthias and I went to a restaurant for
dinner. I have been to this restaurant
before and it is my favorite here in Valencia.
We ordered a jug of homemade Sangria, nachos with a cheese sauce and
guacamole, seasoned meat, mushrooms, potatoes and toast with cheese fondue,
stacked and seasoned vegetables with goat cheese and chicken fajitas. The meal was absolutely delicious and I
enjoyed spending time with friends. If
you are ever in Valencia, I recommend Maria Maniles for tapas. After dinner, we went to a little café for
coffee and wine. The inside was very
interesting. It was decorated with Romanesque
paintings and sculptures. Everything was
made of dark wood, including the chair and wall panels. The ceiling was made of midnight blue velvet
with good stars to represent the night sky.
It was a very cool café.
Yesterday, Nancy and I went to a small city named Gandía
with our Irish friend Naomi. We mostly
walked around the historic city center.
We saw the inside of a convent that was built in the 15th
century and an old church. We also went
to two museums: a museum of archaeology and a Catholic religion museum. I really enjoyed the religious museum because
it was something different. There were
different paintings and portraits of important Catholic figures and scenes from
the bible. There were different
sculptures made of stone and metal. All
throughout the museum, you could hear acapella religious hymns, sung by male
voices. It was a wonderful experience.
