Seville

This morning we saw Plaza de España. It was an enormous example of Spanish and Moorish design. We sat in the shade beneath its arcade and listened to flamenco guitar, singing, and castanetas while watching street vendors try to hock their cheesy wares while keeping a nervous eye out for the police.



In the afternoon we did laundry, which turned out to be quite an ordeal. Stacey washed in the sink while I rinsed in the shower and found places around our already far-too-cramped room to hang things. All-in-all it took the better part of two hours. Hopefully everything will be dry by morning so we can have some semblance of order in our room again.

We bought tickets for a flamenco show tomorrow which should be a lot of fun - Stacey is really excited. I also hope we have time and the funds to go through the alcazar and the cathedral here in town tomorrow. We'll see.
