Valencia, round 1 and ROUND 2

By Jach

So we took an overnight train from Granada.. big mistake. The train seats were uncomfortable, harshly lighted, someone in the back threw up, there was a mechanical error and then a delay. We did play Hold Em for chocolate (mad cheap here) until Tom kept hogging them and it became pointless. We slept muy uncomfortably and got to our hostal too early to check in and thus slept on the couches in front for about 5 hours.

However, the hostel here is super nice, and the weather is usually beautiful. Soccer is fun to watch here at the bars (The people here surprisingly don´t seem that into watching the Euro 2008, besides the Spanish games). We finally did our laundry and today we rented bikes and went to the beach. It was nice, and the highlight was playing beach soccer with three locals, Simone, Jorge, Alex, 3 on 3. We unfortunately lost 6-4, but the ball was super small and they were pretty good. I pulled a Hong Myong Bo and lost the ball right in front of our goal and the opponent scored. They were pretty cool and we might hang out with them later tommorow.
