Coat of arms


This day can be called as the national day of our city as we celebrate the reconquest of our city to the muslims by the king Jaume I of Aragon (You can look for more information [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Valencia here]).

Nevertheless, we work in the lab today too as the jamboree is about to arrive. It is no so bad to pass this nice day with some friend playing with bacteria.
