Welcome to my blog. After 22 years in Texas and 3 in Washington DC, I now find myself in Oxford, England for Graduate School. In between alot of hard work, I am having some amazing adventures and "learning experiences" this year that I wanted to share.

In search of a quaint little village in the mountains...



So after a few days in Valencia we were curious to explore outside of the city. We asked a tourists information center for a good day trip to a wee village in the mountains. We invisioned a day hiking through the spanish country-side. However, As we road on the train to the town of Sagunt, we became increasingly concerned. Not just for the rustic, "authentic" grafetti covered Spain we were seeing out the windows, but the general lack of mountains anywhere. Flat as you could see. We get of at our stop and follow signs to the "centro urba" or urban center. BAD idea. We found ourselves in an industrial and EMPTY party of the town. Well, it didnt take too long before we found the historic center of town. And soon our luck turned around. Here the artichture was beautiful and you walked up the winding roads. After the best tapas meal at an outdoor cafe, we hiked the hill to some amazing ancient roman ruins and ampli-theater. The view was impressive.
