SPAIN (TOM TOOK A LOT OF THESE PHOTOS)

Tom and I went to the catacombs. Here is the only skull you can take a decent picture of without using flash.
Park in Valencia.
Playground made out of stranded Gulliver.
Building that looks like a helmet that a Star Wars character would wear.
Dumpster/beach.
Boardwalk/Palm Trees.
Creepy mural that is hopefully and ad for the circus.
Soccer/Short Shorts.
Old Man/The Sea.
"Trying to figure out if it's real."
Statue whose nose fell off.
Market/Construction.
"Architecture."
Valencia is way more colorful than Paris.
Also way warmer.
Blue shingles.
There are orange trees all over the place but the oranges are really sour so "you only see tourists eating them." Tom ate one to be tough.
Roofs.
The seal of the city of Valencia. Their mascot is a bat because when they were reconquering the city from the Moors they didn't know when to attack so they waited for a sign and then a bunch of bats came out of nowhere so they took that as the sign and won the battle.
Nightmare before Christmas tower.
Another tower.
Square.
St. Vincent's mummified severed arm is in this church. We tried to go see it a million times but there was always a huge line or the church was closed or one day there was no line but they wanted people to pay 3 euros to get in.
Pink.
Fountain Man.
More architecture.
SO BRIGHT.
Ian.
Inside of a church.
New Year's Day fireworks display downtown. The goal is not for the fireworks to be visually appealing but just really, really loud.
"Bidet as a Drinking Fountain."
Ian's house/Ian.
Lola/Ian.
Park outside their house.
Old ramparts/clouds.
