This morning, we were so delighted by the cool morning air, we decided to eat breakfast outdoors at a nearby plaza. This region is known for its oranges, and we have been loving the fresh-squeezed juice offered at many cafes. After breakfast, we walked to a modern, high-tech flamenco museum. The multiple interactive video displays introduced us to the origins and traditions of this art of dance and music. Tonight, we´re planning on going to a flamenco show, so we thought this would be a good place to start!
After a snack, we met a tour guide named Alfonso for a tour of Seville´s cathedral, the 3rd largest in the world. He was full of interesting tidbits of information and funny stories. The cathedral has a tomb containing Christopher Columbus´ remains. Not all of his remains are in Seville, only a handful (tapas-sized, according to Alfonso!) The cathedral was beautiful.
After our tour, we found a nice restaurant for lunch. We´ve adjusted to the Spanish meal schedule: lunch at 3:00, dinner around 9 or 10. The restaurant provided a shady garden oasis from the afternoon heat.
We´re off to flamenco and fried fish, 2 specialties of Seville!

Lesley, I agree with your dad! I have noticed too that you haven't had the same thing on twice. Nice packing in those little carry-ons! You'll have to teach me how to pack lite! :) Can't wait to hear more about all your travels when you get home. Glad to see wine glasses in lots of pictures! :)

¿Puedo tener otro vidrio de vino, por favor? Absolutely!
Great food, good wine, great company! And you are sharing it all with us. Muchas gracias!
Regarding packing, you may never check your baggage again! Easy on--easy off. And believe me, you'll be glad that you didn't check baggage to/thru Miami International.
Love, Dad
