Valencia, Spain

Alrighty-roo well i know its been an incredibly long time since i updated and ok i'll admit im a horrible person for keeping you all in suspence. But alas I do not really care as much as you may hope i care, and at this point i do not have enough time to fill you in on all the lucious details of our latest adventures...So here's the abreviated version.
My last post was posted from the small city of Rimini, Italy, which is situated on the adriatic coast. We decided to spend a few nights there after the big city of Rome to chill and relax before we headed to our next big destination.
Last friday we hopped aboard a train from Rimini to Milan, where we hung out for the afternoon and visited the Museum of Science and Technology/Leonardo Davinci. It had large exhibits of Davinci's inventions and such as well as other fun interactive museum-y type things.
Many of the pictures recently posted on the piczo site are from the museum. The pictures of what looks like the Ruins of a city are from Ostia Antica, about which chelsea wrote a few posts ago. All of the pictures of the statues and paintings are from the Vatican Museum and different sites around Rome.
Ok where was I...Sorry this is so unorganized! Im not my super-duper writer self tonight evidently.
After spending the afternoon in Milan we parked ourselves at the train station to await our 7pm night-train to Barcelona. The train was quite an interesting experience and one that none of us our too keen to repeat. Chelsea, Jo, and I shared a 4 bed "room" (i would call it a small closet) with a young lady from Ecuador who spoke absolutley no english at all and her 2 week old baby son. It was fun to coo over the baby for about 30 minutes..then we stared at eachother for another 2 until bedtime, and then we all stared at the walls and ceiling, all thinking about how gorssly hot and uncomfortable we were. At one point, i think it was around 3 am, I went and sat in the hallway for an hour because our room was so, so dry and hot and proping the door open to let a breeze through proved to be a much more difficult task than it sounds.
So, still alive even if rather tired, we made it to Barcelona by 10 am Saturday morning. The city is very fun, with a hundered things to look at every way you turn. Our hostel was located just off of "Las Ramblas". a kilometer long street filled to the brim with people, vendors, music, artists, coffee shops, and what seemed like hundereds of human-statues and other forms of street-side entertainers.
We also toured a large garden on the outside of the city, within which we found a wonderful hedge-maze which proved to be great fun to race about in. What is it about a hedge maze, or any type of maze actually, that makes you want to run through it as fast as you can?
After the maze we took the Metro to see Gaudi's Cathedral, which you will recognize in the pictures as the huge, bizzare, and rather ugly church-like building. It was amazing to see, and Gaudi definitley was quite the architect. I couldnt dream of designing somethig so complex.
So apart from a few details that's been our weekend. Today we took a 4 hour train from Barcelona to Valencia, where we now are. Our hostel here is so beautiful (by far the best we've been in yet) that we've decided to extend our stay by a day, and wont be leaving for inland spain until Saturday. Since we have WiFi access in our room, im sure another update wont be too long in following this one.
Again, sorry my disorganized thoughts and lack of interesting stories. Hope you all are well and happy, I can assure you that we all are, apart from a few sniffles and sneezes here and there..(chels and jonny have both caught little colds but are doing just fine)
Till next time,
-Kait.
