Photo Adventures with Curiosity and Learning

This was a fun day. A morning discussion of the MRH and GRH, safety factors, propagation and the interplay between experimental protocols and underlying explicit or implicit models of physical and chemical processes. We walked to the restaurant via the agriculture department and then real fields of stuff - here onions.

Then lunch at casa El Famos.

The menu

The inside - our table

Luchia and Chema and Paella. Paella is by tradition, in Valencia, prepared by the men - and wow, what a lunch.

Javier and Lucia, after Paella

After lunch we walked back to the university and past some striking purple flowers

Next, with Roberto, we were off to the classical art museum. Paintings from the 15th - 19th century. A large portion of the paitings are church icons - telling stories.

An early impressionistic painting - by knife

In the garden is this statue

About 8pm, while waiting for Bea, I took a couple long exposure photos, without tripod but this utility pole. As I was taking one of a church across the river-that-is-no-more, a bus passed. Here we can see through the bus

Looking toward the castle gate

Then dinner at a place owned by Bea's friends mother La casa e los Martini, belgica 28, Valencia. Ellen, Bea and Rodolfo at the bar before dinner

Its early for a dinner in Valencia - this is the prelude. Is this Grace Kelly?

As we left, others were coming in for dinner - and this wall needs a few of my photos
