Seville- My Favorite Place in the World

Here are some pictures of Seville. If it looks like I am sweating really bad it is because it was so hot!!! Apparently July is the Hottest month for the inland part of southern Spain. Who knew!!! Oh yeah and I was wearing PANTS!!! I know genius huh:)



This a picture of me right outside one of 4 Starbucks in Seville. Apparently that is where I have to go to get some Starbucks. Mom asked me if I would go back there... well I think that answers her question.



This is a picture looking down one of the main drags in Seville. There are tracks and power lines for a trolly or something, but we didn't see one. I don't know if maybe they only run during the week, or not at all. I am sure that Sarah can expound on my inadequacies.



Here is a picture of la Cathedral ( spelled the same, pronounced way different) I guess from what I have heard is might be the largest cathedral in the world... or in Europe. I guess they are still trying to figure that out. It is big no matter what though. Sarah I have to say that Seville is my favorite place in the world so far.



This is La Giralda... amazing and very high. I don't have to say anything... it speaks for itself.





I really love how close the streets are here. It gives it a very intimate feel. The Roads are very narrow and I think that promotes more walking than driving. Obviously some you can't drive on...and I like that as well.





The last picture is of me at another starbucks (yes we stopped twice). The cathedral is behind me, you can see it if you look to my left.

Pictures of Rota

Here are some pictures of the places that I have been. I will try to explain them the best that I can. There will be more coming some time this week, I am going to Rhonda so those pictures should be pretty good.



This is a picture of the Lighthouse right on the coast in the Town of Rota. It is about a 10-15 minute walk from the gates of the base.



This is what you would see if I turned around and looked away from the Lighthouse. Pretty amazing views. These aren't even the best ones that I have seen.



This is the town cathedral in Rota. It was really dark on the inside and I couldn't get any good pictures but it was really beautiful inside.



Here is a picture of the "Castle" in Rota. It actually used to be a school house and then they changed it into a tourist spot. The pillars are made of Sand stone and marble.



This place really is beautiful. It is actualy really hot right now but I can't complain cause the breeze from the ocean makes it a little cooler.
