So on our first full day in Sevilla we were off to a fantastic start and slept 12 hours so by the time we got out of the room it was around 11:30. Last week every morning I would look on my iPhone weather app at the weather for DC and then the weather for Sevilla and Madrid, it always said that the weather in Sevilla was going to be 90's this week; with that mind I ut on some longer shorts and a short sleeve cardigan and headed out. Um yeah it was cold so after we grabbed some delicious crossiant and a roll that was the size of my head, that was described as toast, a quick sweater change was in order. One of the nice things in Sevilla is that there are a lot of outdoor eating places and thankfully one was next to our hotel.
We headed thru the little alleys to the Alzcazar; however, we couldn't find the entrance and ended uo just wandering around one of the court yards for a little bit - that is what happens when you follow tourists from the Czech. The Alcazar used to be home to many of Spain's kings; it was originally built as a fort in 913 and since then has been expanded and rebuilt many times. There were many tour groups there but unfortunately just don't have those German language skills!

We got headseats so we could listen and learn all about the history
