Time flies - much like anything not tied down does in Moncada winds

These 3 weeks have gone by way fast. My time in here in Moncada + Valencia has been largely positive, whether it be punctuated by 20+*c heat or gale force winds, there has always been something interesting to see or do.

Highlights include:

-the impressive river bed park (ft. bulbous bottomed trees)

-the very sci-fi museums/centres at the south-east end of said park

-the natural history museum

-the fine art museum (ft. goofy renaissance era art)

-getting lost in the old town/northern part of Valencia 

-La Vitti for good live music but not for their watered down tinto!

-Cafe Berlin for good music and cheapish drinks

-La Fabrica de Hielo, where we inexplicably saw a very good mariachi band   

-La Paca, a quaint and cosy bar selling great tapas 

School wise, I've used silly voices, tried and failed to correctly pronounce any students' names, built LEGO-esque models that demonstrate simple infra-red technology, accepted half chewed sweets from 2 year olds, bumped into half of my students out of school (in this tiny, tiny town) and am currently working on a lesson that pulls from a dubious Welsh myth, that I may have entirely fabricated myself to work with the target language.
