La playa de Valencia
This piece of playground equipment was like a half-pipe. Pienso que esta muy peligroso para los niños. I will make this journal my viaje journal while I am in Granada.

We rented a surfboard for twenty-four hours and we spent all afternoon on Saturday and the morning on Sunday surfing las ovas. Estuvo un buen tiempo.

Updates
Thanks for the updates Phil, I'm ready to hit the road again. Oh wait, I must work first, need money...I start my new job on Halloween, scary.

It has now been over a year since I had to use what little spanish I know. Adios mi amigo, jefe'
