Thanks for being patient about waiting for some pictures. I've picked a few from the last week just to give you a little glimpse of things. As I'm sure you will understand, the pictures don't even describe some of the beautiful things I've seen. Enjoy them!
Our hotel for the first weekend.
Our apartment living room and rooftop view!

Visiting the Plaza de Espana which is in Sevilla: Our apartment, me, Elissa, Ashley, and Erica.
And pictures from our excursion to Cordoba. First we visited the Mezquita/Catholic Cathedral now. It was really interesting to learn about the history of the Muslims, Jews, and Christians in the city. This was originally a mosque and then a Catholic Cathedral. The second picture is at the Real Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos. Basically a beautiful palace. Here we are in the gardens with pools and fountains eveywhere. Its lined with orange trees. After the tour, we spent the day walking aroud the town. There were some little streets even smaller than those in Seville. As I mentioned before, its known for silver and leather and there were many different shops with artsy items for sale. After we got back from Cordoba we rested for a bit and had dinner at the apartment. We were going to go to a Spanish Salsa bar place, but there was a cover charge, so we ended up at an Irish pub...go figure.
love and miss you all!steph
