The beginnings of Sevilla

When we got to Seville we hopped into a cab and rushed thru the streets of Seville.........thank god we did not rent a car because these streets are tiny, curvy, and barely fit a car. After our cab driver gave us the scenic tour of Sevilla and acted like we were in the Indy 500 he dropped us off atthis random spot and told us that our hotel was up this alley to the right. After wanderng and not finding I stood there for a decade while Bridget wandered around looking for our hotel.  Honestly, I tthought she as making a run for it.  After she came back and no hotel still in sight a cute little old man in a light gray shirt came up to us and looked like he was trying to help us so I showed him the address and he told us to go straight ahead and to the right, it was literally maybe  100 feet away around a bend! After he walked away I said he looked like a priest well later on we saw him and he had his collar.....so really thank god for him because we might still be on that street corner.  Also you can tak the girl out of japan but you cant take Japan out of the girl because when we said thank you I bowed.

When we got to our hotel we noticed there were steps.....o so funy.  After fitting ourselves somehow into the smallest elevator in the world we wound ourselves around to our room and up some more steps.  The floor has lights in it......like the halogen kitchen lights - it is pretty cool.  After a refreshing shower we were ready to hit the streets of Sevilla. After wandering around a little bit and finding some of the major sights we decided it was time to start this trip off right with some sangria and queso..........best decision thus far.  We then just kept wandering the streets and ended up off the tourist path and getting lost. I honestly think we might have walked 8 miles - I was so tired I said it took all the energy I had to pick up my legs for each step.  We got back to the hotel around 8 and as Bridget planned our trip I was out like a light for a nice 45 min siesta.  Getting up around 9 aka too early for dinner in Spain we decided to wander around again and get some delicioso mintice cream for dinner - seriously the biggest 2 scoops ever. At this point I am feeling pretty confident with my basic spanish (even though everyone speaks english) because after Japan I feel invincible :) When we decided to hit the hay at 1045 I asked if we needed to set an alarm and Bridget said that there was no way we would sleep too late............yupp12 hours later we finally woke up!! The best part was I looked at my phone and saw it was 4:45 am I convinced myself that1  my phone must have switched over because there was no way we slept so late. I was also wondering why they were hammering in the middle of the nite. O well we needed it! I quickly got yelled at as I yawned as we were getting ready for our 2nd day in Seville!!!
