Kevnjan's new adventure.

Wed. 27th. Feb. Today we returned to the centre of Seville and joined a walking tour which took in the Cathedral, the Archives, a palace and the Marie Luisa gardens in the Plaza Espana which houses the 1929 Espano / American exhibition of 1929. It is a picture of perfectly formed buildings, built in the style of 17th. century Spain, to apologise for the heavy handed way in which the Spaniards treated their dominions in the Americas since the 15th century. Sadly the big stock market crash of 1929 ensured that very few people from the Americas attended. We enjoyed this place very much, Janet, who loves old buildings, was heard to say that it was her favourite place in Seville. The walk was long but the company was good. The guide, a young Columbian man named Santiago was knowledgable and informative. It was the highlight of our visit. After lunch we paid to visit the Cathedral, something which I hate to do, but it is special and a must see. We climbed to the top of the Giralda, an old Moorish, minaret, a very tall tower, which the Christians converted to a bell tower when they took over the city. The views were worth the climb. After the long walk and the equally arduous tour of the Cathedral, and the Giralda, it was time for ice cream and beer. No prizes for guessing who had what. We spent last night parked in a street in Seville and it was very noisy with traffic, although we were not disturbed otherwise. Tonight we are back on the aire we spent Monday night at and looking forward to a peaceful and restful night. Not sure what we're doing tomorrow. Depends on the weather, at the moment it's raining!! Think I'll have another whisky.
