6/25/07 Back in Madrid!!

Buenos dias today is Monday, we just arrived from Seville at 6:30 pm. We put our luggage in our room and went down stairs to bid our last farewell to our bus driver Ricardo. This is the last week we are in Spain.

Last night we decided we wanted to go out in Seville since it was going to be our last. Gary told us about the love boat, he said it was a big boat that takes you up and down the river. So we all decided ok it will be fun. We left at 9:45 the boat left at 10 pm and when we got there we were so surprised at what we saw. The boat was like a big paddle boat with no roof and with windows on the first floor. We got on and there were bugs flying around everywhere, it was gross. We went down the first floor to get drinks, the boat started moving and the music started. Honestly, it felt as if I was at a middle school dance, everyone was jumping around to disco music like they were 12.

On our way back to Madrid we stopped in Cordova to visit the very beautiful architecture the mosques.The outer building is very run down and had no color but once you get inside it is just breathtaking. In the inside ther are so many arches that are red and white it remided me of the stripes on the American flag. They were built by the Christians destroyed by the moors and rebuilt by the moors. The Christians later retook it back and that is why it has a Muslim influence to it.


Well Hasta MaƱana
