Science Museum- August 19, 2005 Day 4: We returned to the City of Arts and Sciences today to see the Museu de les Ciencies Prncipe Felipe. This is a huge building with a skeletal framework, which is covered with so much glass the window cleaner has a job for life.

We're staying in Valencia, Spain, for a fortnight. Valencia is the capital of the district of Valencia in Eastern Spain. Like Catalonia, it has its own language similar to Spanish.
