We are back in Seville and I think it auspicious that the white doves were flocking near our apartment.
We have found a lovely, spacious apartment with a balcony and a roof deck in Triana, the old city part. It is the former Jewish and Gypsy quarter but is now a trendy place full of lovely old buildings and tapas bars and shops.
I am turning into a Sevillista. I sleep late and then spend the morning drinking cafe con leche and walking slowly around the neighborhood and reading the papers. Then maybe a small adventure to explore a bit in the city and get some lunch. Then back around 2, siesta time and relax and read. In late afternoon it's time for a bit more exploring then we come back to the apartment and get ready to go out for a late dinner. It's so civilized.
I'm getting more comfortable on the bus system which is the best way to get around the city. Also I think my Spanish is improving. I've been able to navigate OK when I don't have Jim to translate, although it certainly helps when he's around and I get stuck. Google translate has been a great help when I'm stuck for a word also.
It all sounds divine. Spain sounds incredibly colorful and artistic. Just catching up on your blog, which as usual is incredibly well written and entertaining. Miss you.
