Palacio Episcopal

 On Wednesdays I have a lot of gaps in between my classes so I am always looking for places to go and things to do to kill the time. I have an hour break between my two tourism classes, so it's not really worth walking twenty minutes home and back.

This time, I decided to grab breakfast somewhere and study Sustainable Tourism a bit. I went back to the creperia that Ricky and I hit before our play. They have a breakfast deal that gives you a hot drink (coffee, hot chocolate, tea, etc) and a breadish thing (biscuit, toast with mermelade or butter, or a mini crepe) for 1,60; pretty cheap! I got a café con leche with the pancake thing you see above. It had cheese and ham on it, but you could get a sweet one with chocolate or honey. I was suprised to have the same waiter! I asked him about the Palacio Episcopal across the plaza (we are right in next to the Cathedral). He was super nice again, warning me that the beggers might try to tell you that you have to pay, but it's totally free!

I had been wanting to go inside for a long time, but I was nervous/confused about entrance. Since I finally knew it was free and I could just walk in, I did it! I didn't have any sort of guide or map, so I had no idea where I was allowed to go. Most of the doors were shut, so I didn't open any. I think I'm going to go back and ask the lady at the entrance if I can go in any of the rooms! I just walked around and took a few pictures; the place was empty! I still had like fifteen minutes before I had to be back in class, so I took a backstreet and found some cool boutiques. All these photos were taken with my phone, so pardon the quality; I just wanted to sneak a quick blog in before this weekend. :)

I'm going to Valencia Friday through Tuesday morning for Las Fallas, so I will have plenty more blog up soon!
