Valencia Day 2

Day two in Valencia would prove to be another busy day and one with a lot walking. We headed off to the Ciudad de las Artes yde las Ciencias. This was really  several "museums" in one. We were only able to see a part of it... just too big for one day. This was the overall view you first see:

 

The buildings were very futuristic and quite large.

First, we hit the water show.

 

Will waiting....

Then we went to the science museum. It included biological information...

 

.... Will watching baby chicks hatch,

 

Philip and Will checked out the planets while I counted the DNA components.

Jenny was at the telescope (one of many)

 

 I forgot what this thing was that Michael and Lincoln are checking out.

                                                                                  Donovan just liked anything he could manipulate  

                                                                        and that's what this museum was perfect for.

Here, we were getting out feet checked for "type" - depends on
how your toes are shaped.

But probably the best thing all day was when the three amigos got to ride INSIDE these big bubbles on the water.

 

This City of the Arts and Crafts was a huge undertaking apparently. Sadly, we did observe that there were some things that were not kept up well or were closed or didn't work. Locals that we talked to said that was mainly due to the money problems the government had experienced in years past and although things had recovered somewhat, many things in the cities had not been able to be well maintained.

 

All in all, it was a great day that ended in pizza for the boys and grandparents back at the apartment,  while Michael and Jenny had a night out.
