yesterday i strolled around sevilla for hours with my map and camera just snapping photos and exploring. is it me, or are the skies in spain just so much more vibrant than anywhere else? i won’t caption each one, but shots include the largest gothic catherdral in the world (which i will hopefully explore the inside of today or tomorrow), various streets in el bario santa cruz, plaza de españa, la alameda de hércules and el rio guadalquivir (which, as i remember from spanish class, is the most navigable river in spain). if you have any questions about what’s what, email me or write a comment.
i like a city with a river - i live in one that’s got two. but in order for the infrastructure and aesthetics to work, the idea of the waterfront must be taken advantage of. lyon for instance is another city that does this successfully. prague is one that doesn’t. a few shots down you can see a little floating cafe that rents paddleboats on the river. i had the worst cup of coffee in spain there, but it was still nice. yay for accessible water systems.

I’ve been following your trip. The sky is definitely more blue, and almost everyone of these pictures could be framed just as they are. Great shots Chris….sending lots of hugs, Aunt Jo xoxo
