Here’s the thing about traveling with someone, even someone
you love. You realize, quite soon into
the trip, that there is truth to the saying, “Even fish gets old after 3 days.” Because of this, Quentin and I decided to
have a rule to live by when in Europe: 1
day together to sight see and 1 day apart to sight see. Thus far, it has maintained our collective,
familial sanity.
Today is our 1-day apart day. I asked him last night what he planned to do
in Valencia. He said, “Sleep in and hang
out.” (Translation: sleep in, drink
sangria, eat tapas and look at the hotties in a local bar). He asked what I
planned to do. I replied, “Take off
early, go to Malvorosa Beach to look at the sea”. (Translation: get up early, drink sangria, eat tapas and
look at the hotties at a local beach).
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
