us versus the city

Today we woke up refreshed (sort of) and ready to attack the city again. After breakfast, we met up with our tour guide Juan for a second day of cramming in as much information and as many pictures as we could snap. First we went to Alcazar which was a Moorish fort but now is a palace. We saw much beautiful arcitecture here. And the designs and paintings on/in the walls were so amazing.

We climbed to the top of the Giralda wish is one of the most famous and well- known sites in Sevilla. We climbed up the Minarete which was 76meters tall (more of our work out for the day) and got to see more of the entire city... Again the tops of the buildings are the best vantage point because you can see for miles and miles. We then went on a horse- drawn buggie ride around the city and got to see the things that were out of walking distance for us. We saw Plaza de Espana with an enormous gorgeous symmetrical building. It was a great and relaxing way to see the city and the parts we didnt get to yet.


Much to my disappointment, we aren´t going to get to see a bullfight. However, at the top of the Giralda, we could see the ring from the top. The view was breathtaking. Jessica and I walked around to each side at least twice. We are all starting to get to know each other better now, whether it be our shared love of our tour guide or how tired/crazy we get. But it is only day two and we are like 12 peas in a pod.
