Someone shoulda told Indiana Jones, the Grail was right here in
Valencia the whole time.
So we got into Valencia last night and since neither of have been
feeling real well lately, we opted for a hotel again. We looked up a
cheap place, but it turned out to be dead in the center of the old
Roman part of the city. Really great architecture dating back
centuries everywhere. Even a bull fighting arena at the end of our
block. Of course now it's a happening hot spot. So we did up the town
a bit. Got too much paella and a too many pitchers if sangria. So
worth it though. Best sangria I've ever had.
Today, we started our quest for the Grail. Where so many before us
have fail, we succeeded!! After pouring through the ancienct texts
and maps (i.e. The Lonely Planet guide) we deduced the most likely
location for the final resting place of the Grail. It was marked
"Cuppa de Christo" on the map, so it wasn't really that hard. We
followed the crowds down to the Santa Maria church (just between
Starbucks and McDonalds) we found the Grail. Ok, so we couldn't
actually see it, but we found the church, and since it is Sunday, we
found a lot of believers here too. I guess we just have to have faith
that it was in there.
Tmorrow: ?
