It's our last day in Valencia. Last night Tommy rented El Cid starring Charlton Heston and Sophia Loren and is about the famous Christian warrior who saved Spain in 1050. The entire last part of the movie was about saving Valencia so it was cool, kind of like watching Tombstone in Tombstone.

Saw my first Ford Explorer today. Hardly any SUVs here, no GM cars. Weird. Everything is small and smaller and if you saw the parking situation you'd understand why. They park in the oddest places and sometimes three deep. They leave the cars in neutral so the poor saps trapped inside can push the cars away and leave. Incredible.

Signs that I've got too much time on my hands. I woke up today and thought, "Brittany Spears initials are BS." Hmmmmm.

Went to the IVAN museum and saw the Francis Bacon show. Didn't really like it. Too weird, negative and schizoid. Not my cup of tea.

Kids went shopping while Kathy and I had lunch at the museum, then we met the kids and they ate a picnic lunch outside the Commerce Center, circa 1,500 AD. Not sure the place will last much longer. Just kidding. Everything is so damn old.
