Our last excursion with Sherry turned out to be a lot of fun. We did a small group cruise up the Guadalquivir River and learned a lot more about the sights, buildings, and bridges we had been walking past for a week

One last day of shopping and a great dinner and it was time to take Sherry to the airport to catch her morning flight. We were able to get back in time for me to make my second day of Spanish lessons.

Speaking of the apartment, we are located on a side street that connects to one of the busiest shops streets in Sevilla, Sierpes.

Our one bedroom, one bath apartment is very comfortable.

The best feature of the kitchen is the washer dryer combo unit that sits below the microwave.

I would like to tell you the bedroom window overlooked the Cathedral, but we settled for the alley view instead.

Shortly after I returned from class on Tuesday, there was a period of misgiving. Had we made a mistake booking so much time in one place???

We determined the key was to keep exploring, only at a more reasonable pace. So Wednesday we headed out to find the Tower of Seville, stopping along the way for refreshments and tapas at one of the literally thousands of street restaurants.

We crossed the parasol bridge and found the tower on the north side of Triana.

The views from the 37th floor observation deck were stunning.

We soon headed to the Triana market to buy some fresh foods we could cook at “home”. 

We are learning that rowing is a big sport in Sevilla.

So now we are finding pleasure in some of the mundane tasks.

Later today we are going to the language school for a cookie making session all in Spanish. And since my first name and Becky’s middle name are more common in Spain, we have decided to henceforth be known as Roberto and Maria.
