Hola from Sevilla

Hello Everyone,

Today I am writing us from Sevilla, a gem in southern Spain. It is a smaller city full of super friendly people (which hasn´t been very common in other parts of Spain). We are staying at a hotel for about $30 US a night and it is awesome. We have our own bathroom and a bed for each person.

We already feel more at home in Sevilla than we have in other parts of Spain. Mostly I think it has to do with the warmth of all the people, but also Sevilla is a bit cleaner than most places we´ve visited. We are planning on visiting the Plaza Toros Maestranza, yes where they hold bull fights and give tours during the day. There is no way any of us actually want to attend a bull fight, but we´re curious to see the arena and get information from a tour. We also hope to attend a Flamenco
show this evening if we can find cheap enough tickets. Our tour book recommends a show that will cost about $15 US, so we are there if we can get in tonight!

Tomorrow we will be flying to Italy!!! Our flight leaves in the morning for Milan, and we will take a train to Padua and spend the
night there before heading onto Veniza. Two nights in Venzia, four in Firenze, and two in Cinque Terre. At that point Heather will be leaving us and Nicole and I will be heading south. Cheers!
