I wonder how the bus route from Valencia to Barcelona will be. I took the train between those two cities once. Really gorgeous trip along the Mediterranean shore most of the way.

Valencia is also famous for paella, but some of the old recipes aren't full of the seafood we think of with paella. They have stuff like rabbit, snails, and fava beans.

Wish I could go.

Yes, yummy. I'm also happy to eat the seafood versions, but it's an opportunity for the team to try stuff that's harder to get in the US. Like the ham. The ham is amazing.

Why the angry face?

If this group is like the girls that went to Italy five years ago, they will find and eat McDonalds.

Then you wouldn't like the restaurant in Paris called Monsieur Lapin. Everything on the menu is rabbit.

Will Carter go on the Spain trip after just coming back from the U19?

Does anyone have an updated schedule? I thought I read somewhere that the team wasn't going to Barcelona, considering the recent events there.
I wonder if they picked up anymore games or will end the trip sooner

There will be no more games. The administration was adamantly opposed to the team going to Barcelona, even to keep their original airline reservations to fly out of Friday. Most of the team, including the assistant coaches, bussed back from Valencia to Madrid today (Monday). They spent the rest of the day shopping. That portion of the team will fly home on Wednesday.

The boosters, Coach Blair, several staff members, one player who has relatives with her, and a few former players who were on the tour continued to Barcelona. We will fly out on Friday as originally scheduled.

Thanks you've been great with all this information.
