One Last Day in Seville

We woke up today with thoughts of maybe trying to go to the beach in Cadiz, but with suspect weather, we decided to bum around town and get a few errands out of the way. Amy found a new, more secure purse in preparation for Barcelona (Spain's hot spot for thieves and pickpockets) and some sunglasses. We also wrote a few postcards, bought groceries for a picnic lunch and got lost in the city a little more. Only now as we sit here in our hostel did we realize we forgot to visit the Alcazar -- a 10th-century palace built for the Moorish government when they still ruled here.

Nonetheless, Amy and I had our best meal so far by picnicking (true) and since I am my mother's daughter, I travel in Europe with a small cutting board/knife/wine bottle opener set for just the occasion. I also have a collapsible lexan wine glass. And now, so does Amy. Having found that glasses are much harder to find than cheap bottles of wine, it's a requirement if you travel here with anyone in my family.

We're heading out to catch a Flamenco show tonight before packing up tomorrow morning and catching the bullet train (AVE train) to Barcelona.

Adios from Seville.

Looks shabby, but the bread was hot from the oven, the strawberries didn't taste like cardboard the the mentos were still just as awesome as usual -- we're simple girls.
