Seville, Spain (October 25, 2006)


I originally planned on staying in Seville for several nights, but since I was not able to get lodging at the Seville Oasis and it was supposed to be raining for most of the week, I cut my visit short. I ended up staying just one night in a less-than-stellar hostel, spent the next day fighting the rain to see some of the city, and taking the night train on to Barcelona. Seville is an interesting city of approximately 700,000. Despite several travelers telling me not to bother with Seville, I am glad I went (and, in fact, would have liked to have stayed longer).

Despite things going differently than I had hoped, I ended up having a nice time in Seville. I met a cool American girl at one of the hostels I considered staying at, and we spent the entire day together, trying to see some of the sights of Seville and escaping into cafes when the rain got bad. We had a fun time talking, and it felt nice to have a real, deep conversation with someone.

Just today I was marveling at the beauty of the fall colors in the leaves on my way to work and thinking that we should all draw more pleasure from the simple things around us. And now I see your picture from Seville. Wow, talk about beauty all around you! Enjoy and remember there are lots of folks back here in Oklahoma who love you. -- Roni
