Sevilla

Here are some the few photos that I took during my trip to Sevilla. It was a beautiful city and we had the most lovely weather. Blue skies without a cloud in sight. A tropical 35 degrees most days, it was most manageable when sipping a cool drink in the shade. And there was lots of shade (cool drinks, too).


Beautiful tiled garden at the Art Gallery of Seville


Drinking tinto verano and eating tapas next to the river


The cathedral of Seville--third largest cathedral in the world!


We climbed to the top of the cathedral's tower and then had fun spotting the buildings with pools. Why didn't our hotel have one?


At the top of the cathedral tower. (can't figure out how to flip the photo around).


This huge waffle like structure was a big open plaza in the downtown. Very cool. We also had some very yummy tapas right beside it.


The float that carries the weeping Virgin Mary statue during Seville's Semana de Santas.


The famous weeping virgin Mary. She has a crystal tear on her cheek and many different robes she can be dressed in.


Did I mention that there was tapas?

It's been awhile since I posted, but June and July have been a busy months and the nice weather that we've had makes it hard to stay inside behind the computer. I'm off to Seville on Thursday for a long weekend with a friend (forecast says 36 degrees!!).

In the meantime, be sure to check out Steve's blog and follow him on his walk from Edmontonto Vancouver. Gambaro Japan!
