Valencia, Spain - another rainy day

 We are quite willing to go out in "drizzle", "light rain" or "occasional showers" but this was another day of "off and on downpours" so we stayed home. We read books, played on devices, worked and gave Fi a chance to improve her euchre skills so she could fend for herself better in the Youth Hostel environment.

This photo of the tourist pirate ship going for a spin was taken through the apartment window.

 
We did all get out for a walk at one time or another.

These funny little balls have appeared on the beach.

Some round, some oval. There was much conjecture and then Rick used "Google Lens" and found out that they are "Whale Barf Balls" or "beach balls" made of sea grass and other material that storms have rolled into balls and deposited on the beach.

We also noticed a boat of some kind floating the pipes out to sea, that have been on the beach. Internet research has led us to believe that they are going to be used to pump sand up, on to the beaches that have been eroded by the winter storms.

As Sunday was to be a good day weatherwise, Rick's last day in Spain and Fi's last with us, we rented a car for a road trip to Peniscola. We just got back. I took 190 pictures, Drove for 3 hours, walked and climbed and ate and am too tired to post any more but tomorrows post will be of a location that was used in Game of Thrones!
