More Sevillan Adventures

Another crazy, busy week. Last night I ended up going to a place called Music and Magic. We went for the live music but apparently they had problems with neighbors and there is no longer music, just magic. People go and share magic and card tricks every night of the week. It was very entertaining and all of the Spaniards were crowding around at the site of Americans. Apparently it's not a very common place for foreigners... wonder why? But it was definitely a memory.

Today I went to the gypsy market that is here in Sevilla every Saturday. WOW! Everything for super cheap. And it's huge. You can get turned around so easily! And it's outdoors on a beautiful day. (It was in the 70's today... amazing). In the amazing weather I have explored a bit more of the city. The bikes continue to be amazing! Today we ended up going to the old wall that used to protect Sevilla. We climbed a fence and had a blast pretending we were knights. Ridiculous but completely worth it!






I've also been going to the Plaza de Espana at every chance I've gotten this week. Taking a picnic or just to read. It's gorgeous and my favorite place here!




Right across the street from the Plaza de Espana is a humongous park called Maria Louisa park. It is like a forest in the middle of the city with tiled fountains and gazebos and everything perfect for a place to study.






I can check another food off my list also... fish with bones, head, and everything. Been there done that haha.

I'm off with some friends to a Flamenco bar tonight. Hopefully we will actually get some music this time!!
