Tonight I was determined to eat paella! So I had the front desk make dinner reservations at L'Estima. This restaurant at the beach that got recommended to me by another travel person. He was right this place had some good paella! But in order for me to get there I had to take the bus. The bus stop however looked much easier on the map than it did in actuality.

Also the girl at the front desk mentioned that since I was a table for one it was harder for them to fit me in especially since paella is a dish made for two or more peopl...

I've decided not to fight it anymore espeically here in Valencia where the siesta is taken very seriously. I got in around 11 am and let me just say my flight was an experience. The plane was a so small that the wings were above and from my seat I could see the wheels. Man I haven't been on a plane like this (the kind where you walk out to the plane and then up five steps to get inside it) since the Philipines. The flight was quick about 50 minutes, enough for a ...
