Sevilla

SEVILLA:

After the Capilla Real, we hopped in the car and headed to Sevilla, which is about 200 km from Granada. It was an interesting car ride, with a few pitstops for Spanish cheetos and ice cream treats. All 5 of us are crammed into a mini-minivan, which always makes for interesting trips.

Sevilla is also kind of a crazy place to drive, so we had to have some members of our group hop out of the car and find the hostal, while the rest of us drove around and tried to find a parking spot that was less than a 30 minute walk. We ended up finding one in a parking garage, and carrying the others´luggage the whole way...awesome.

Tuesday night in Seville, Dan and Jamie and I went to a little Mexican restaraunt called Tijuana, which was pretty tasty and had live music, but the servings were really small, and since I hadn´t eaten lunch that day, I ordered a second burrito, and got quite a few weird looks from the people waiting in the line to be seated. ¨Fat American pig!¨is pretty much what they were saying I think...

I was able to get lots of cool pictures of Sevilla at night, with the cathedral, the bull-fighting ring, and the river all lit up. The also had some really weird art work in the center of the city, with heads and anatomical parts that were several feet high.

We then attempted to move the car to a cheaper and closer parking spot, which led to some arguing (the beginning of much, actually)...
