Seville


      
       When our flight arrived from London it was 37 degrees Celsius or 99 degrees ferenheight.  We were coming from London half as warm so we had jackets and pants on.  We went straight to our AIRBNB.  We could not find it so we went to a cafe and got drinks. then our host came and took us to our apartment.  We stayed there and wondered if we could go to the pool but they were still closed because it "summer" yet.  Our apartment was in the old Jewish quarters which ad small shady alleys so it was a bit cooler.  A little while later we went out and walked to the central plaza under the cathedral that was called La Giralda.  From the plaza we walked away from our apartment.  We found a tapas place that looked like it was good but it didn't open until 9:00 and it was only 8:00 so we found  another one and went in we stayed there for about an hour and then went back to the first place.  We got home at 11:00 PM and went to bed.  The next day we got a late start and went to the Alcazar the old royal palace.  It was kind of like the Alhambra but it had more tile patterns that I liked better.  It also had a huge garden in the back.  That night we went out again and got home at 12:00 PM.  The next day was super fun we got up earlier and went to La Giralda we waited in a twenty minute line to get in.  Inside it  was huge like many European cathedrals.  It also had Christopher Columbus's tomb wich was cool.  Later we climbed uptake tower which had all ramps and high ceilings because they use to climb up it on horses.  It had a great view and some huge bells that went while we were up there.  When we went down Kara went home and we went over to the Bullring.  It is unique for several reasons.  One because it is oval shaped, two because it is privately owned, it is also very old (it took 120 years to build).  We went on a tour of it, and went in the museum which had  bullfighting suits and stuff like that.  that night we ate dinner at 11:30.  On our last day Eric got up early and rented us a car to drive to Granada.
