First Night in Valencia

I got into Valencia, after sitting next to a very nice Italian women and talking for a while in Italian on the plane. I found my hostel after a bit of trouble, I was pretty rusty with my spanish so I had a hard time thinking of the words to say at first to find directions. I found it and it was the coolest hostel I have been in. It was run by Australians and British like many of the ones that I have been to. This one was very clean and had tons of services that can be used for free, except the internet, but that was very cheap. It had five floors and the top one was a lounge with pool and foosball and books and TV and an outdoor porch to hang out on. There was a huge kitchen with some free food and lots of tables to hang out on. My room had almost all Italians in it, and I talked to them in Italian as much as I could, but it usually goes to English after I have exhausted my vocabulary, but they are more than welcome to help me out. For the whole weekend I spoke Spanish, unless I met people in the hostel who spoke English and not Spanish. After checking out the hostel, I went to the old district of town where all of the old moorish and arabic buildings were. This type of architecture is typified by its geometrical designs, which are really intricate. I went in cool church with a nice altarpiece and roof from the 15 century. It looks a lot different than Italian art, a lot more advanced and realistic for the same time period. Also, in the church was a relic. It was someones arm from the 14th century, it looked really old and wrinkled. After this I just wandered down to the river area which is really developed and has tons of public paths. It has a fountain just like the Ballagio in Las Veags, where the water fountains are synced with music. It also has a really cool children's park with lots of hands on activities and learning stations with mini golf and life size chess and a big play station. After this is a series of waterfalls and cool landscaping that leads to the City of Arts and Sciences. The first one is the Museum of Art, which looks very futuristic and looks like a killer whale to me. The next building is the Hemisferic, which is a hemisphere of dome of glass and underneath is a dome of plastic or metal where they house meetings and conferences. Next to this is the science museum, where they have the coolest science museum I have ever been in, but I will explain that later. Next to this is a really cool Aquarium that is really futuristic looking to, you should check it out on line if you can. They are building more stuff next to it that looks pretty cool. After walking down this big strip I decided to walk back. It started to downpour so I jumped from awning to awning making my way back in the rain. I got online when I got back and wen tot bed early because I was tired.
