It truly was our pleasure. Wait for tomorrow, when we travel back in time to the middle ages!

Thanks for the tour of Valencia. Pretty impressive architecture!

You maybe hit a weird hostess having a bad day, because the ladies we met were really sweet and kind to us.

Given the terrifying headwind it is a good thing we chose the shorter route. Thirty miles, 50 km, would have just about finished us off.

We still prefer to look at these signs as recognition of our country, but a herd of cattle would be fun to see also.

Thought we recognized them from the photo in your blog.

There are downed trees and branches all over Valencia, and they say the high wind conditions will continue through the weekend!

This is interesting too. I compared our routes. We took almost entirely different routes, riding the same streets for only two blocks, at the midpoint in Meliana. Yours was 30 km, ours was 30 miles.

No, I’m wrong. It was the same place we stayed - Rachael looked at the photos and confirmed it. I’m not sure either of these was the woman at breakfast though.

Huh. I don’t recognize anything about this place. Not the pool, not the dining hall, and neither of the ladies. I forget things pretty quickly any more, but not that fast. I don’t think it’s where we stayed after all.

It’s hard to look this one up because you keep getting references to the country, but I finally found one. It means ‘cattle track’, so I suppose it’s a warning that cattle may be driven across the road here.

Probably so. There’s a different section of them on the walk up by the Roman forum and there’s an information panel describing them as such.

Same castle though. We’re at least talking about the same town.

We had the same terrible wind yesterday in Sardinia. It was un-fun for biking, especially in beach areas where the sands got whipped up. Only the windsurfers and kiteboarders seemed to be enjoying themselves. Still very windy today.

Glad we got to see your pictures!
That must have been a frightening wind!
