Makes us feel like we belong, even if the word has nothing to do with our country.

In French these are called something like Grenades. They taste slightly tart and have many very small red fleshed seeds that are all clustered together. They can also be made into a very dark red/pink juice.

Wednesday morning now. The wind has died, but news reports people died in Valencia from flash floods. Today it's just the bird park, but tomorrow we'll throw caution to the "wind" and head for the wetlands!

I would be very hesitant about biking out to the Albufera. We were there a few years ago and it was badly flooded out and a challenge to get around: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/iberia2019/in-valencia-day-1-la-albufera/. I can’t imagine that it’s not much worse now. I’d wait until you come back in the spring.

We are fine, although the wind was a bigger problem for us yesterday than rain or flooding. We are still hoping to look in the Albufera, but the weather will have to be the final decision maker.

Oddly the news stories seem to be worse than what we encountered. We are fine, and if we encounter too much water across the road we can always turn back and try to find a different way through. Swimming with a loaded bike is not our idea of fun.

I just read about the terrible rainstorm there and in Andalusia too. Glad you made it into the city safe and hope you’re both ok.
