Nov.9:
Today I started my day with yoga and homework. It was raining pretty hard so we took a cab to the museum of maritime at the Torre del Oro (gold tower). I found out that Seville is where Christopher Coulombs left to find America, and we saw a model of his boat, the Santa Maria! Plus Seville is where Magellan sailed on the first trip around the world! Then we walked along for a while but stopped for a frap at Starbucks :) :) :). On our way home we did a little bit of window shopping but for dinner we had Italian food. I had pizza!!! Oh and all the doors in our hotel are copies of famous Spanish paintings in frames. The picture at the end is the photo on our door and we will see this one when we are in Madrid.

  1. We must visit Seville. What a cool place with the memorial doors and beautiful store fronts and displays. You all look so happy but wet. Great photos.
