Let me start by saying that Sevilla is very cool. Sevilla is known for its Flamenco and Bull fighting, which we will hopefully be able to experience both. Tonight we are hopping to catch a flamenco show and tomorrow night a bullfight. This is something since CElia loves animals and is so anti cruelty to animals that i reckon she is only going because she knows i really want to. I dont have a problem with the outcome, as i see it as a cultural tradition and a sport. Anyway, today we toured the plaza and we will soon go buy the tickets.

As I was saying sevilla is a city with somuch history, quiant cobblestone streets and moorish architecture. Today we visited the Real Alcazar which is group of palaces built with lavish decorations, gardens and pools. It was truly amazing as the work is so detailed and intricate with arabic writings, geometric patterns in both the walls and ceilings Cathedral

Yesterday we visited the Cathedral and Giraldi which is the largest gothic cathedral in europe andthe grialdi is teh tower,wich we were able to climb and have veiws of the city. Of course we have had more tapas and an actual meal last night at a very nice restuarant that is an old mansion.

Ok, there is much more to tell but when i dont write often i forget and right now i am tired so i willleave you all with pictures.

One more thing, I have a week left ofmy trip, and believe it or not i am already dreading the thought of going back to reality. This trip has been everything and more than I could have expected and dreamed of, and despite moving around often, wearing the same two pair of shorts and pants, and same 6 or so shirts, life has been simple, full of new things every day, new food, people, drink, lots of exercise, learning, walking, just plain living! Which I guess its fitting to end in spain since it seems this is what they do best, and smoke of course.

Well, Irambled, but I guess I am kind of sad knowing its almost over. for now IŽll live it up,in case you had any doubts!
