Sevilla was awesome. More details on that later. And photos, if you´re into mediocre photos of cool places taken with an inadequate camera by a below-aveage photogapher. Because if you´re into that, i´ve got just the thing for you.
Made it to Madrid. It´s nice here, got a much more big-city feel than sevilla, perhaps because it´s a much bigger city. The sights are world class, and the food is good. Biggest difference between the outrageously hot girls in Sevilla (of which there are many) and Madrid (similarly many) is that while the Sevilla girls tend to smile, the Madrid girls tend to walk around with an insouciant big-city pout.
Visted the worlds largest open-air market yesterday. It is huge. it´s mostly a flea market full of junk, but it was fun to walk through and check out block after block of crowded merchant tents. You can buy just about anything there except food, because the food vendors that are already on the streets complained. Got a couple pictures of that, too.
They finished up the Vuelta de Espana in downtown madrid yesterday. I took a break from my busy afternoon of taking sun in the park to watch some of that. Third largest tour in the world, besides Tour de France and the Giro d Italia. So it was a big deal. They shut down the downtown for half the day. Tens of thousands in the streets, etc, etc.That was cool. The peloton is a sight to behold. They go very, very fast and ride very, very close together.
I´ve been gone a long time and I´m ready to come home. Past ready, even.
thanks for reading.
