Just Beachy

So my suspicions were unfounded and I indeed got my day at the beach in the sun. Valencia's beach is not the loveliest I've seen. But provided you keep your eyes away from the construction cranes, port buildings, and some of the ugliest residential appartments I've ever seen, then the beach is just lovely! Rolling blue waves and pretty sea shells littering the shore. There were a few sail boats out on the water too. Still haven't gotten used to the topless sunbathers though. Almost always warrants a double take when I realize that wasn't a beige top that woman had on. Maybe by Portugal I'll get used to it.

Was great to just flake out. Can't actually say I did anything today, which was exactly what I needed. Got some sun. Read a bit. And otherwise flopped out on the sand. And it really was proper sand. I haven't seen good grainy gets-in-your-shorts sand since I left Vancouver. Feel a bit like I've just been exfoliated at the spa actually. Which considering how long I've been travelling and using crappy showers is probably a very good thing! :P

Tomorrow will be the culture day. It'll give my pink burnt face a chance to calm down!
