Valencia Spain

Nice welcoming to Valencia
Reminds me of some photos I have seen of architecture in Mexico
Italian restaurants are everywhere and you can find good pizza in many places
Even this powerful cat (MANNEKI NEKO) turn welcoming you to eat ramen and assistant cat wishing you peace can be found in the city
The beaches are very long and the water is pretty clean
This was redesigned but originally was the local governors palace and offices
The ceiling here and in the next photo are the original parts of this room which were found some other place in the city and refitted here
Looking at the floor at a good angle gives a very nice perspective
We’re private meetings were held
This entrance was large enough to allow people on horseback inside though I don’t know that really happened but it is something that I learned at a palace in bologna Italy
Paella is the local food, may be considered the fast food of Spain but nice to have when you want something simple
Getting their hair wet on a very warm day at the local fountain

Slow down for the cows on the road
It’s easy making new friends
Discrimination against my smaller engine bike
I don’t care about this discrimination. I don’t have a car
Have to stop for some duck
The river
A nice bar which, due to new government regulations, decided to stop making their own beer

Funny stuff

Obviously something everybody needs
On Koh Chang this monkey gets the pick of the trash
This truck dumped cases of beer on the steep curved road and beer cans were rolling downhill
Do you think it’s full?
This is a menu from a Lao restaurant
