My Love...Seville

I will say first, I will be back to this city. It is amazing! I have fallen in love. I wish I could stay. I know that in the real world, it is not possible though. The architecture here is like nothing we have seen. There is new and old. The old is kept up so well. They keep the buildings so clean and fresh. It is so neat to have done the walking tours and learn about the history of the city. It was at one point the worlds largest trading point after Columbus discovered America! They also keep the city as a whole very clean. Which is a nice thing to see, just different. We went to the Museum of the Indies. This is the building where all the important documents are held that have to do with the discovery of the Americas. That was neat to see! It is the 5th UNESCO monument and or city we have seen. I am happy to have the chance to see all of this seeing that it is has to do with the history of our world, not just my home. We have been in Seville since Sunday. We will leave Monday for Barcelona for a few days then be on a flight to Rome. Our time in Eurpoe has been cut short becuase we recently learned about the Schengen Agreement. It kinda screwed us for lack of a better way to put it lol. Please google it for more information, it´s a lot to explain on here. It is fine though, we are taking the time we have and enjoying the last few countries we are able to see. We went out with a bunch of people from the hostel last night. That was a blast! We did a "bar crawl" and ended up at a gay bar! It was the most fun we have had since we left home though. The fact that 10 people from all over the world could come together and drink and have an amazing time was just nice to see! The one thing Danielle and I have come to love about walking the streets here is all the backround mucis you hear. People just play in the streets for money but it is so nice. She says its like being in a movie. You can go from street to street and have music playing on each street. When we dont hear the music we question why lol. We saw a man dressed as a crazy clown with 2 puppets on either hand, with olny the heads popping up from the table. He would jump up at people walking by and making loud screaching noises. We stood there for a while and just laughed at the people who he would scare. It was very entertaining! There was an Irish woman who also loved it and kept coming back, that made me laugh hard too. We have found a starbucks and a Dunkin Donuts since we have been here. I am so happy about that! Well, I was just invited out by some people here in the hostel. I am going to take them up on the offer :)

Miss you all! XOXOX
