A Long Weekend by the Beach.

This last weekend I got to go with Loida, the first and second grade teacher, to stay with her family at their summer home in Peniscola. Peniscola is a beautiful little town along the Mediterranean coast north of Valencia. On the way we stopped in a town called Morella. It had a really old castle at the top of a mountain in it. We climbed all the way to the top and got to look around. A lot of it has eroded but it still fairly intact and it was awesome to see how defensible it was and where the rooms used to be. After we had a good look around we got back in the car and headed off to Peniscola.
Peniscola has a beautiful beach and a really cool old castle that was more put together then the castle in Morella. We spent a day seeing the castle and the town. I was happy to be able to explore two castles in so short a period of time.
On Monday we went to a zoo for Exotic birds and Kangaroo's. It was really cool, there were lots of parrots and other cool birds. I got to have five or six birds land on me at once. I enjoyed it a lot.
Over all it was a great weekend and it was amazing to see a different part of Spain and get away for a couple of days.
