A week with the Fullers

On Friday, March 2nd both Mr. and Mrs. Fuller arrived in Sevilla. After a short bus ride from the airport to our apartment we found a great place for lunch and had a great time. The restaurant was doing a special with oysters and champagne so we couldn't refuse.

We relaxed most of the rest of the day and got to bed early so the Fullers would be ready for a big day. In the morning we went to the cathedral in Sevilla and got a very ice look into everything it offers. We went into the tower again so the Fullers could see the amazing view of the city we have been living in.

After the tour of the cathedral we made our way to the Guadalquivir River to watch the sun set. A few other people decided that was a good idea too. 

 Back at the Plaza de Espana. Glad the Fullers could enjoy our amazing city.

 The next day we rented a little car and a GPS system and headed for a beach day in Cadiz.

 We stopped for some tapas and coffee then got back on the road.

We finally made it to Cadiz where the weather was great. We saw some really amazing stuff.

 "Florida is that way!"

After our great day in Cadiz we came home and got some well deserved sleep. Throughout the trip the Fullers were buying us groceries and we would cook some awesome dinners. Hopefully we will be able to re-create these meals soon.

Having the Fullers with us was great and it really made me appreciate the experience I'm having. They loved the apartment and the city and they had no intention of leaving so soon. They wanted to stay longer, practice their Spanish more with some locals and of course be with us more. Kelsey and I actually accompanied them to Madrid where their flight back to the US was leaving from. Kelsey and I said our good-byes and then had a full day in Madrid to explore the huge city.

 This is the line for the Prado Museum in Madrid. We were already halfway through the line when I decided to take a picture. The museum was well worth the wait though.

After a very long day in Madrid we got a train back to Sevilla, took a cab home from the train station and fell right to sleep until the afternoon on the next day. Kelsey and I had an amazing week with the Fullers, showed them lots of great things around Sevilla, we spent a day in Madrid and want to back to see more more of it. This weekend Kelsey and I are going to Dublin, Ireland for St. Patricks Day and will be traveling through London as well. We just have to finish up this week at school then we'll be headed there on Thursday afternoon. I still need to buy something green to wear on St. Paddys day but I'll figure something out. I'll make sure to take a lot of pictures in London and Ireland and I'll post them here as soon as I can.
