Pretty fantastic last ride, indeed!
4 years agoThat's cool!
Rachael stands still at the Galbi Mirador while her shadow has an out-of-body experience.
Just look at that bike lane! Very clearly marked .. and looks pretty free of debris, too.
4 years agoProbably not many places! I haven't been on the full path, but supposedly there's a 6.1-mile full loop around Central Park. Not sure if it's all accessible for bicycles (?)
Forest Park comes to mind .. but isn't really comparable to Turia.
Maybe this could be one of your Quests?
Wow! She's almost too fancy to be real.
I would love to see her dance in that dress. The dress looks too heavy and stiff for Flamenco, but maybe a graceful ballroom dance?
Yes! At the Ayuntamiento, too. Is Batman from Valencia?
From Wikipedia:
"the bat represents a commemoration of the role of this city in the conquest of Valencia. The bat now rests just below the crown in Teruel's seal. While the use of the bat as a heraldic symbol is prevalent in the territories of the former Crown of Aragon it is rarely used elsewhere."
At least you will be able to get your evening meal at a normal hour!
4 years agoThanks for following along and giving us encouragement, Suzanne. It’s been a memorable three months alright. We’re ready to get back to our own language and culture for a spell, but we’ll both miss this place.
4 years agoAmazing architecture, stunning photos! So sorry your trip is drawing to a close. It's been a great ride for you and your readers alike I'd say. Good there's another one not too far in the offing.
4 years agoOr the East Side Esplanade next to a long strip of green space, sculptures, and a Farmers Market instead of the roar of I-5 ..
4 years agoNo, of course I didn’t go down the slide. That’s a younger guy you’re thinking of with a back that’s not looking for an excuse to go out on him.
You’re right about the park. The city would be unimaginably different if this were a freeway instead. Just imagine East Portland with a broad, long park instead of the Banfield Freeway.
This is really impressive. And beautiful!
Love those ceiba trees and the giant slide. Did you go down it?
Imagine how different the world would be if 10+ other large cities had the forethought to build a large park instead of a gnarling freeway system ...
Hearts back at you,Greg. Thanks for putting up with us again for the last few months.
4 years agoYou've reached TWO mountainous achievements: 100,000 feet of ascent, and 7,000 well-earned "hearts."
See you in the American southwest!
From my perspective here on my comfortable chair in the suburbs of Denver, sipping my coffee, I'd suggest that you head straight up the mountain. Roads and switchbacks are for amateurs.
