El Fin
Surprisingly and Blessed on our last full day in Valencia we were able to go see some of the city during the daytime! We immediately jetted to the Mediterrean Sea to feel the sun on our faces and walk along the boardwalk…
The one below is of the Las Arenas Resort we got to enjoy dinner at one of the evenings after helping with one of the events that WASM had put on for its delegates.
From there we headed to the oldest part of the city to see some of the historic buildings before the sunset… We had read somewhere that there was a church in which scholars believe the ‘holy grail’ was moved too…So for purely entertainment that became our goal along with three of the others we had been working with all week at the Congress. I will have to go back and label all of the buildings below at a later date.
Above is part of the afternoon in which we attempted to find the ‘holy grail’ and decided to take a picture there ‘claiming we found it’. 
The one thing that seemed so crazy to me about Valencia were all the Palm trees-even though it is a city on the coast I still cannot get my mind around these old old buildings with palm trees right next to them. 
The five of us skipped the WASM closing ceremony and met up with our ‘bosses’ for a lovely evening to celebrate the end and enjoy doing nothing but sitting. The place we ate at “Sagardi” was sooo good-desperate for protein all of us got some sort of steak and potatoes…ending with a dessert of cheese and walnuts. It was fun getting to know everyone-even though they all live in Rochester I personally had never spent ‘real’ time with any of them and of course after working long/late hours we got to know each other quite well and am looking forward to seeing everyone again!
Thank you WASM crew for letting me work along side all of you!
