We arrived in Spain several days ago. The history of the town, Valencia, is amazing. It has incredible architecture. The architecture is unlike anything I have ever seen before. Yesterday we had a "scavenger" hunt that got us acquainted with Valencia! It was very interesting to roam around Valencia and see what you can find. Along with the beautiful art we found interesting people. The culture here is very different than any other I have encountered in my short life.
Campus was very interesting and nothing like any campus I have seen in the states. It has lots of art, and lots of people. The art was in the most unexacting places. In the architecture of the buildings, in the art on the walls, even in the way the buildings are arranged.
Today we toured the city center. It was increible. As we walked around we got a chance to taste gillato and go to the flea market. As we roamed around we got to tour the Cathedral of Valencia and in it we saw the Holy Grail. It was very interesting. As I sat in the cathedral of Valencia I started to think of all of the people that must have been in there, praying, worshiping, or touring it, just like we did. It was an overwhelming feeling of feeling as small as a mouse, or part of a puzzle with one hundred pieces. Visiting there, I am now a part of it. I have prayed there, I am one of the thousands that have seen its beauty and praised the Lord there. I am one of many.
