Getting ready!

Wow...less than one week!  I have been reading Spain guidebooks and online resources, gathering as much info as possible about the history of Spain and the city of Valencia.  I am trying to tie up loose ends; taking library books back, getting meds, last-minute teeshirts and travel supplies....I think it going to be a wonderful city.  I am really looking forward to exploring the old part of the city, and exploring the beach.

I am curious to meet my new host family.  Any suggestions for what type of gift I could bring?  I went looking for a book of Greensboro photographs...and then I remembered that the city skyline is not so pretty.  :(  The book I found has pictures that are truly TRAGIC.  There are parts of the city which are beautiful...photographers-get yourself out there!  We need a new book!  So, I have settled on getting random food/snack items made in NC.  Someone suggested I bring jewelry, but I don't know the person AT ALL.  Risky.  Anyway, I am still open to ideas...

So, not giftable, but there is an interesting website with photos of Greensboro... http://www.greensborodailyphoto.com/

Also, I ran across the following photo stream of Valencia's sites.  I am going to try and add it as a widget.
