Wow. What a nightmare. We took the train out of Barcelona and are taking the train back in. It is now looking like a wise decision!

I'm a Google Maps fan but I also find it wise to view routes on it with grand skepticism, and hotel listings as well. If the satellite shows a rice field instead of a hotel, and the hotel link shows teenagers posing as rappers or a kid holding a papaya, well then. I can't tell you how many of these I've edited to indicate they don't exist. I'm not sure if you can do the same for routes or roads, however.

Ah, I misunderstood. Yes, we leave Valencia for Granada Oct 27th. Bummer. Another time I hope!

Sadly, we only arrive in Valencia on November 2. I think you are gone by then?

Ooh, plantar fasciitis is no fun. It's one of the reasons I gave up running years ago. And - you're in Valencia! We're ferrying there tomorrow. How long will you be there?

It was a blast, but now Dodie has developed plantar fasciitis in her left foot, and we still have three days of looking around in Valencia. Fortunately, we brought Ibuprofen, the cyclists best friend.

We sort of choked when we saw the length of the line to get in, but the price of admission was way too much for our pockets, or heart rates.

Dodie is a fan of all the wrought iron railings we have seen. If I photoed all the ones she likes, the blog would have twice as many photos as it already does.

Thanks for the house tour. I enjoyed seeing some of what we walked by last week, and lots more that we didn't see. You must have walked many miles.

Those toothy railings, rawrr

I didn't even look at the ticket price for Casa Battlo, glad we didn't bother. It's plenty entertaining just to see the outside.

Those melty iron railings do it for me. I'm a fan.

I always find that rather sad, but I understand why and wish it wasn’t so.

But, unfortunately not graffiti..:(

I like your street “treats”, Steve..Well, we are getting close to Halloween.;)
