Sevilla Day Two

All right, it’s Day Two of the Luggage Crisis, and the day started off with a uniquely Spanish breakfast. The breakfast was a giant spread of fresh bread, which the Spanish love and use with every meal. There was sliced meats, cheeses, juices and other things. It’s definitely not your average hotel I stayed in. A little different than a Best Western and better breakfast food I assure you. The hotel is really nice, small rooms, but very efficient. One huge difference is you have to have your room key to operate the lights. They are big on energy conservation here.

Today was spent walking around Sevilla with the school guides for over 2 hours where we saw the city center and sights such as the orange trees that grow here and the La Giralda which is a massive Gothic cathedral built on Roman stones and Arab brickwork, We went down La Calle Serpento. It’s windy like a snake hence the name, but it’s a part of the downtown and all the shops. They are having the Rebajas right now, which is a giant city wide sale. Another fun thing is that it might snow for the first time since 1954 in Seville. The city is very medieval and all the streets are tiny and narrow barely big enough for a car.
