Into all travel some rain must fall and today it rained unrelentingly in Seville. We woke up to rain and it never stopped all day. The streets were empty, but the bars were full as people watched a soccer game on TV. In an effort to stay dry we decided to go to the Museum of Contemporary Art which is housed in a beautiful old monastery. Unfortunately we learned when we arrived the museum has no permanent collection and there was only one small exhibit by an Iraqi artist. Although I wasn't crazy about the art there was one piece I liked made up of hundreds of tiny tin soldiers that represented the various armies that have fought in the middle east. (see photo above)
The museum was somewhat off the beaten path and there was no easy way to reach it by bus from our place but we were able to get a taxi at the taxi stand down the street. Getting home was not as easy. No cabs or Ubers anywhere nearby so we trekked out to the closest bus stop figuring we could at least get into the inner city where we could then transfer to a bus that ran to our neighborhood. Fortunately, while were getting drenched at the bus stop a taxi came by and miraculously stopped for us. Our only other foray was to our local grocery store to buy a few things to cook for dinner rather than trying to go out to a restaurant. Nice to have an apartment with a well appointed kitchen so it's easy to do this.
