Parks, sangria and paella

      What we were planning to do today was wake up, grab some breakfast, go check out a cathedral in the city center and do some more exploring of Sevilla. What ended up happening was we slept until 3 again because we didn't set an alarm to wake up this morning.. So we hopped out of bed, went to Starbucks for a quick breakfast and tried to get the cathedral before it closed. By the time we got to the ticket booth, there were only 30 minutes left before it closed and we knew that wasn't enough time to see everything we wanted.
        So we headed back towards our apartment and explored some parks in a direction we haven't been  yet. These parks are everywhere, you just have to walk around and find them. After walking for a bit and taking in the views Kelsey had a great observation, "why don't we have things like these ornate buildings and beautiful parks in the States? They are all over the place over here and all we have to do is go right out the front door to see it" It's great seeing all of these things and we keep thinking to ourselves, "We live here now!"

       
   
   So after a little walking we decided we would get dinner at a place we saw last night. It is called El Flamenquito and we reserved our table for 9pm, just in time for the show to start. The restaurant has a live flamenco show every night and seats about 50 people in front of a small stage. We ordered sangria with our paella and enjoyed the dancing and singing as we waited on our food. It was an amazing show and our waiter ended up being the dance partner of the woman flamenco dancer.

I meant to take a picture of the paella before we ate it but we were really hungry. 

  Today was great and hopefully we'll be able to go back to the cathedral tomorrow and spend some time there. It looks amazing and I'll be sure to take some pictures. Thanks for reading and make sure to check out Kelsey's blog too.    http://kelseymclean-abraodabroad.blogspot.com/
