After school (giving directions and orders in Spanish – el imperativo) walked 40 minutes to a nice small restaurant well north of the Cuidad Vella (old city).

Back through the kind of neighborhood where the other 90% of Valencianos live. Not picturesque but lovely in soft warm sunshine.

And so to a longish afternoon of homework, with me (R) hidden away in a wonderful little corner of the school – a single armchair wedged between a street scene through a 19th C window (to my left), a very 21st C glass-walled classroom (straight ahead), and (to my right) a huge section of wall built by Los Mussulmanes almost exactly 1000 years ago – 1023 I think.
