Valencia en Fallas

For starters... Happy Sunday!
Here for me it hardly feels like Sunday but it will once I fully get up and out of bed. I also will be going to church this Sunday, not sure if I will be walking the whole way or if maybe I'll be able to take a bus... but I cannot imagine a bus would be much faster because all the falleros here in Valencia have taken over. A band just walked by... with traffic becoming backed up behind them.
Completely taken over.

It is Amazing! There are no words to fully describe it. I got home last night at 4:30 in the morning... never in my life have I been out that late... wow. Well, the Castillos were very pretty last night. Castillos (castles) are firework shows that start at 1 am in the morning, and it was a really nice show, I have not seen fireworks as guay before in the States. During the Castillos in the big crowd of people someone lit off a petardo, so I was rather scared for my limbs... A petardo would be a ridiculous firework that all can buy and little kids and all alike love to light them off and make my ears ring. They are rather dangerous, so being out here in Valencia at any time of day during Fallas, one has to be very cautious.

We went to a bar. I had a coke. Spaniards sang happy birthday in english to make fun of us. Julia made a ridiculous display of how they were singing it wrong and corrected them. and so then they sang it again correctly. Irish bar. I may have been the only person in the place that actually has irish blood. :)

I rather enjoyed last night, and a nice gentlemen, Chad from our school program, walked my roommate Margaret and I both home last night (even though it is out of his way).


Well, that is it for now loves!
