Day #18, Valencia

Today we drove about one hour away and visited a hill top town called Villa Fames.  The kids had fun exploring the castle.  These little castles are really not for Royalty I am convinced but rather a way to run away and protect ones goods and lives from attacking Moors, Christians, Romans, Cartheniagns, Visigoths, etc.   They are everywhere and the castles themselves are mostly in bad repair as they were made of Sand stone (easy to cut) and they have eroded after 600-800 years or more.

The town was cute and we had a good time.

We say goodbye today and travel tomorrow to Brussels.   Max and Beth and their kids have been incredible and gracious hosts and they have such a good thing going that we are considering maybe a 4 month move next summer to try (I would fly back and work shifts) and Amy could work here.

We shall see.  After seeing the crappy weather for much of last half of August in Seattle it is more and more interesting.

Here in Valencia today, gone tomorrow to Brussels
