well, last night and into this morning was pretty darned adventuresome. after we checked into the hotel in sevilla (and after i slept the whole rest of the bus ride) and i published my last post, we explored the streets of sevilla on our way to dinner. we passed through the pedestrian streets filled with shops that i may or may not shop in tomorrow, as well as la torre giralda, which we will be climbing in a few hours!
los calles de sevilla (the streets of seville) dinner was uneventful. the salad starter was not that amazing, and i wasn't in the mood for more refined carbs and olive oil. the olive oil was more of a greenish color this time; usually it just had a yellowish tint. my dinner of sea bass and veggies made up for the salad though.
my sea bass and veggies after dinner, we had the option of going to a futbol (soccer) game or just chilling at the hotel. i went with a few others to the futbol game. although it wasn't a team i was hoping to see (real madrid or barcelona) i enjoyed it more than i thought i would, since i'm not really a soccer person (futbol americano and basketball all the way!). it was cool just to see how many people got up in the chants (not repeating, if you think we have bad chants in the united states...) real betis (the sevilla team) tied getafe c.f. in a shutout. the main downside was it. was. so. cold.
henry and i afterwards-- seniors!we couldn't hail a cab after trying for at least 10 minutes, so we just decided to walk back to the hotel. it took about an hour, maybe, so i'll guess it was about three miles. it felt so good to get out and have some exercise! we walked down the avenue of the palms and then through "ghetto" sevilla where all the hostels were. it wasn't sketchy at all; quite frankly i enjoyed exploring parts of the city that more than likely we weren't going to tour.
not sketchy y'allanyways. i need to get my rest for later. five hours of sleep a night isn't going to cut it. i need to do better tomorrow.
