Seville

This will be a little rushed since we´re at an internet cafe that just loves to eat our money... Seville was awesome! The city was a nice mix between real, small town spanish culture with a bigger city pace (for spain.) Amanda and I saw all the sites, including a huge park, the biggest gothic cathedral in the world (home to Christopher Columbus´tomb), and a Christian palace with muslim influence. We also dined on Spanish favorites, such as patatas bravas, paella, and churros and chocolate. The most interesting spanish cultural endevour in Seville was the flamenco show we saw. We were both on the edge of our seats (literally, since we were in the back row and couldn´t see so we sat on the top of our pull out chairs) watching on man pluck at his classical guitar, another sing and keep rhythm, and a couple dance sentually to the spanish music.

Now we´re in Cádiz and spent our first day on the beach (naturally.) The old town is littered with old architecture and tiny cobblestone streets, while the new town has stucco buildings and the nicer beach. Amanda and I read our books, dipped in the ocean, and listened to music all day. Tomorrow we will set out to see more of Cádiz and even the tip of Africa from the southern most part of Spain.

Sorry this is so short, we´ll add more later! love you all!!!
