It’s so hard to say goodbye!!! We know it isn’t easy to just “go to Spain”. But it was so good for our hearts to have some of “home” here for a few days.
We ended our time together in Old town. We started at the Mercado Central de Valencia. They got to see all sorts of stands selling meats, seafood, fruits, veggies, olives, rice, wine and more! Of course we treated them to some dulces. We walked the streets to El Catedral de Valencia. We’ve been there before but I notice something new each time. It’s still spectacular to sit near the holy chalice.
Afterwards we walked through Ayuntamiento Plaza and kept right on going to Mercado Colón. Naturally we indulged in some Horchata and fartons. They truly experienced the best of Valencia! Then we took them to the train depot to start the next leg of their adventure. We gave them a list of must-sees and do’s and we can’t wait to hear all about it.
On another note, I’m so proud of Hattie. She made a very tough decision to go ahead and attend school today. She has a really hard time visiting the catedral. The artwork can be graphic in regards to the crucifixión and the holy wars. Her little heart just can’t understand the cruelty of it all. She also had two test at school today. So she put on her brave face, hugged them goodbye and went to class. She’s so much stronger than I give her credit for...Because her sisters and I cried at the train station!!! I’m beyond blessed to have my sister-in-law and niece who love my girls the way that they do. So thankful for the last few days spent with them.
