Weekends were made for.....walking?

Oh boy! talk about embracing the culture.... we even embrace their lifestyle! We walk walk walk everywhere!

Here is me playing a little catchup:

Saturday: The day started with a walking tour of Sevilla. We visited (on foot) some of Sevillas most historic places as well as all the different zones and walkways they have. It's incredible that every corner is a kodak opportunity! Beautiful!!! Even the roads with their bumpy bricks lol. The walking tour is definitely the best way to intake this beautiful Spanish culture and architecture. Everyone in Sevilla either walks or rides a motor bike. Beware of their motor-biker's! lol I almost got ran over three times! haha We had lunch at Dona Maria and ate pork patatas & vino de verano. They use A LOT of olive oil! jeeze. but nonetheless the food was great and the dessert was even better. This restaurant, and most of our tour, was in Triana. Triana is also part of Sevilla but they ironically think they are a separate city because of their separation by the main river here.

Oh! another cool thing we saw was a wedding!!! Everyone who attends a wedding, well just the women of course, wears a huge hat with feathers or just big colorful feathers on their head! Can't wait to post the pictures. But their fashion is enviable. It's so exotic yet perfect. Sex and the City on steroids! :) 

Sunday: Yesterday was fabulous. We started the day yet again walking (ok from here on out just remember I walk everywhere when I'm in Sevilla- I better come home 10 pounds lighter). We finished learning all there was to be learned about Sevillian history. We also took a guided tour of one of the famous HUGE cathedrals in the heart of Sevilla (i'll get the name later). Ate lunch at another restaurant which served a specialty chicken. Tasty but very salty...lol.

But the best part of today was the infamous Bull Run of Spanish tradition! wow! I must admit that at first I was a little choked up and disturbed... but soon after... I got comfortable and accepted it as an art from a culture that I was simply not raised in.  Nonetheless, it was something to be experienced in this journey abroad.
