JM Hotel Jardin de la Reina Guillena

... a couple weeks. So here´s what i think are the top things to do in Seville: - Cathedral and La Giralda - the cathedral is probably best known because it holds Christopher Columbus´s tomb...at least that´s the only thing that i knew about it before i got here. It is also nice to go up to the bell tower to get a view of the entire city. - Wander around Barrio Santa Cruz - this is the old Jewish quarter which is pretty much just a ...

... Agustin studies the bulls moves and notices which side it favors as the bull charges the hoarse lifting its front legs off of the ground. The man or picador shoves the lance into the bulls muscle along its shoulder. The bull does not even seem phased as it continues to drive into the armored horse. In the past the horses had no protection and it was common for a horse to be disemboweled by ...

... anyway. With the help of some digestive cookies (i´m sure its only a brand name but they might have been the miracle cure) we had no problems with the food. We were just getting comfortable with the culture when we had to take off back to Spain. We stayed a night in windy Tarifa then took a bus to Sevilla. This week is their April Festival so the city has a lot of stuff going on such as bull fights ...

... She prudently wants to take the bus back, I imprudently want to take the taxi. Irrational fear of buses, again, first because she's sick and I want to get her to the hotel ASAP, second because we have a laundry crisis and need to run back to town to wash some, and third because I have an irrational fear of buses. In the end she gives in, and we take the taxi. We get back to the hotel, and after a short break I load up on ...

... her apartment, has been living in Sevilla for three years. She is a flamenco dancer, and one night the three of us went to a flamenco show in an old, ornately decorated theatre. It was an odd mixture of traditional and new, flamenco and piano, but some of the pieces were lovely. I was also able to watch Melinda take an advanced flamenco class, but unfortunately she was not ...

... her roommate Amy had tagged along and also got a soda. My montadito was an amazing combination of smoked salmon with Philadelphia cream cheese on the crispy fresh bread, toasted. The other girls both got the "Clasico de Chocolate" which is basically like half a Hershey's bar on the baguette, toasted. Sort of like a s'more, and it was delicious, also. We chatted and laughed and complained about the unfairness of life and romance. We both had guys who seemed to be totally interested in ...

Hallo liebe Leser, es gibt wieder mal einiges zu berichten vom kleinen Markus aus dem grossen Spargel-/Orangen-/Olivenland. Mir geht's zur Zeit, ausser ein paar Müdigkeitserscheinungen, weil ich die letzte Woche ziemlich viel erlebt und nicht all zu viel geschlafen habe, richtig gut . In zwei Wochen sind bereits Weihnachten, welchen ich mit einem lachenden, aber auch weinenden Auge entgegen sehe. Ich freue mich riesig nach Hause in den ...

... with nothing but our purses and the clothes on our back. We were leaving the country and we didn't even have our passports! The bus ride lasted 6 long hours (it lasted like 5 minutes for Cindy because she slept the whole time), and the bus didn't have a built in toilet! We stopped several times, but I could never understand the announcements that the bus driver was making because he spoke only in Portuguese and at 4 in the morning, that really sounds like gibberish!

... town and and sharing a room with them for 2 nights and exploring Sevilla with them while working on this damn Eurail thing. They are going to take me to STA the Student Travel Association where they believe I can have all of my questions answered since my questions didn't´t seem to translate last night at the Eurail Assistance desk. If the STA doesn't´t work then I will ...

April 28th Back to Espana - After a long but not too bad 5 hour bus ride from Lagos, we arrived to the beautiful Spaninsh town of Seville. We set off to explore the city right away, it was much warmer than we anticipated, the sun was out so that made for a great afternoon of sight seeing. We headed to the cathedral and paid much respect to the tomb of Christopher Columbus. From there we took a ...
