I suppose its about time I update this blog! I spent the last two weekends in Sevilla and Morocco, and they both deserve a post of their own so here is one about Sevilla, and expect one about Morocco soon!
We took a bus from Granada to Sevilla (about 3 hours)--it probably was a beautiful bus ride but unfortunately I was sleeping most of the way! (oops) Sevilla is an awesome city (also in Andalucía), and it does resemble Granada in many ways, but the road system is even more confusing (I didn't think it was possible), and it is alot bigger. Friday we spent the whole day being tourists. When we set out for our adventures for the day, we obviously didn´t know where we were going...but we accidentally stumbled upon the Catedral and La Giralda, quite the view when you aren´t expecting it!
La Catedral was built from 1403-1506 (I know this from memory, jk), but La Giralda is left from 1198, and is a muslim building, left from the mosque the christians destroyed to build La Catedral. It was used by the muezzin (a muslim crier whose job is to call to prayer...again from memory), and has 35 flights (in ramps) which we climbed up to see a beautiful view of Sevilla. Oh, I almost forgot-- we saw the tomb of Christopher Columbos (Cristobal Colon), which is inside La Catedral, and we were way too excited about it, ha... Also we saw the river he sailed out from to discover ¨The NEW WORLD.¨
Also important- I ate McDonald´s while in Sevilla. Another interesting piece of information about our trip to Sevilla- we bought boxes of wine for .69 euros each. Needless to say, it was really good wine...
P.S. Sorry I don´t know why the pictures are like that.
Thanks for the update. I'm glad you found a McDonald's!! Love, Dad
