Travel

My parents and I boarded the first of two flights to Valencia, Spain on Wednesday May 8, arriving via London on Thursday the 9th. We arrived at our hotel in the evening and had a great meal – served on some very odd dishes – My dad and I teased my mom that we were going to get this octopus shaped plate – and quickly got to sleep.
