Busy, busy, busy!

Oh my gosh we have been so busy. So we went on a sunset cruise on the catamaran the night before last. The catamaran came with many different characters. The french men brought many interesting conversations about the American culture, including our way of dancing. The conversations we had. Aside from the fact that I got a chance to use my un peu knowledge of the French language, the culture they brought was interesting. I learned about France and the French culture for around three years and I finally got to experience it. I found that the French men and women were much more reserved than us, the loud Americans. Although they did not shy away from asking us to meet them at the beach the next day, they sure did shy away from the music and dancing.  Then we went to the zoo! It was so cool. It was like you were in their habitat, you weren't staring at them through glass very often. The zoo, or biopark as they like to call it is all about giving animals who are trapped into cages their entire life, or are going to be put to sleep a new home! So the zoo takes them in and takes care of them. They had lots of cool animals! I loved it. It was nothing like the zoo's in the states where you are behind glass and they are stuck in a cage! Another interesting experience was Flamenco dancing.  Last nights flamenco dancing was very interesting. It truly was an immersion of different culture.  It was awesome. The man tapped so fast he looked like he was skating across the floor! It was really interesting. This morning we woke up and rode bikes around the city and ended up at the arts and sciences center! It was sooooo much fun. There was a machine that took pictures of you and made it a shadow! We also watched chicks being hatched, and played with wheels, pulleys, spinning tables, stuff like that! Valencia is such am awesome town. I can not imagine having the ability to take your classroom on a trip to such an incredible place. It is fantastic. I love all of the history and the importance of things. Valencia is incredible.
