Bad nesting?

I tried validating my wordpress blog, and I get errors as result of bad nesting, on the code:


<div class="blogContent">
<p> It has been approximately an hour since we arrived home. That’s three days of white sand and two days of province. <a href="http://transience.last-waltz.net/blog/?p=88#more-88"></p>
<p>Read the rest of this entry &raquo;</a></p>

</div>

As you can see, the a tags are badly nested with the p tags.

However, I can’t fix the error, because it’s a predefined function. This is the code from my template:


<div class="blogContent">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>
</div>


Help, please?
