It's 4am and I just finished a delicious meal of fried potatoes and eggs. Yesterday I went to the Seville Cathedral, the 3rd largest in the world. Unfortunately I didn't get any good pictures, my camera and I are at odds right now, but I do have lots of bad pictures. So many pictures that I got a "memory card full" message for the first time in a few years.
I went to mass at 1pm with Ali. She's couchsurfing here in Seville and kindly loaned me her student ID so I could take my broke bum through the cathedral later on in the afternoon. We look NOTHING alike. She is dark complexioned with black hair...
What is truly amazing about the cathedral is it's immense size combined with minute and extravagant detail.
The treasure room...
The tower was originally a mosque, as many of the cathedrals in Spain were.
Does this look familiar?
The view from the tower
How often can you look down on the top of a cathedral? Be eye to eye with it's spires?
The bullfighting ring
When it finally stopped pouring rain on Saturday, I walked to the Plaza de Espana, built in the 1920s for the world fair.
Each province has a tiled alcove depicting an important moment in history.
