Today we went to Emilio's house in Cheste, that's where my Dad was born. We took the train from Valencia to Cheste. We met Emilio's two daughters Maria Pilar and her husband Manolo and Maria Jose (single). We had brunch there - there was lots of food. They gave us presents. I got a watch, a necklace and bracelet. Lucas got a soccer outfit from a team in Valencia. We visited for a while then Emilio and Ma. Jose drove us to see one of my Yaya's (grandmothers) cousins nearby before we took the train back to Valencia. It was a really hot day.
When we got back we relaxed and got ready for a birthday party. My Dad's aunt Amparo turned 90 yesterday and they were throwing a big party for her at a restaurant. Dinner was really late (9:30pm, early for over here actually). Our cousins from Linnea's birthday party were there too and we all sat at the same table. They were tired and were being bad (running around, not sitting still), so they went home. My Dad said we were tired too and wanted us to go back to the apartment. We went back with Amanda in a taxi, it was really late (11:30pm), but my parents stayed behind. It was kind of cool though because there were singers and guitar players that came and sang and played for aunt Amparo. We got ice cream before we went back to the apartment.
