¡Yo soy tu guía de Sevilla!

This weekend, I had my first & only visitor in Sevilla. In return for her wonderful guided art tour of Vatican City, I showed Shaina (a fellow Carlow University study abroad student) around Sevilla. Among other things, we ate paella, montadiots & churros; toured the inside of the Catedral; wandered the gardens of the Reales Alcázares; relaxed in the tetería where the waiters know me; and window shopped all the finest stores.

For me, it was a wonderful break to avoid the hectic flight/train/bus/taxi/metro frenzy & to be able to revisit the sights of Sevilla. And (of course!) it was great to see a friend from home & to catch up on how the experience is going. I enjoyed showing off my new home & what I've learned of the language & the history. I also took a ton of photos of the inside of the Catedral (which I hadn't seen yet) & the Reales Alcázares (which I also hadn't seen most of). Shaina seemed to have a great time, & I got to play tourist in my temporary hometown.

Photos here & here.

Nos vemos, Le <3.
