Solo Again and on to Visiting Valencia Spain, Valencia, Spain
I have been looking forward to visiting Valencia Spain ( Valencia - Wikipedia) for some time now. Ever since I have had thoughts about living in Europe, Valencia has been a city on my list. The combination of seaside and historic old town seemed to hit two of my main interests and criteria.
The train ride from Barcelona to Valencia was very comfortable, at one point I actually dozed off for 30-45 minutes. Something about the back-and-forth rocking of the train. I find it very relaxing.
After a relaxing train ride from Barcelona, I hired a taxi to get me from the train station to the AirBnB apartment. I didn’t want to deal with the bus system right away. Unfortunately, the older driver did not speak English, so I had to write the address for him. He seemed like a nice guy and tried to converse with me; some I understood and could reply, some I couldn’t. Makes me even more committed to be proficient in Spanish (currently doing Duolingo lessons online at: About Us - Duolingo).
