is so awesome!!!
We´ve seen the Cathedral and the Alcazar, and have eaten more than our fair share of tapas (berenjenas con miel/salmorejo, patatas bravas, etc.). Tonight we may try to catch some flamenco, although my hopes are not that high, since many places cater to tourists and are pretty pricey. Even still, I´d feel dumb if we didn´t at least try to see some, given that we´re in Seville.
Our hostal is nice, but basic (and heat is 3 euros a night…no thanks). We´re close to a lot of things, but we´ve done a lot of walking. Since arriving in Spain, we estimate that we´ve walked about 50 miles. It helps burn off all the fatty food and the copious amounts of hot chocolate I´ve been drinking (oooohsooogoooood).
I´m off now. Traveling to Cordoba tomorrow, and then Granada on Wednesday. Adios!
Forgive me for hijacking your joys of travel, but what kind of keyboard are you using?
One of my nerdy shames is a fascination with the history of typing. One little quirk I’ve noticed in correspondence with people in Europe is that where we would use apostrophes (‘, 0×27), they use acute accents (´, 0xB4). I understand why—the accent key needs to be a dead key, and accent+space makes more sense to come out as the accent, especially for a language that doesn’t traditionally use apostrophes—but it’s interesting. Do they use QWERTZ or AZERTY layouts or anything like that? Was it difficult to adjust?
Anyhow, keep enjoying Spain! I hope you’re not spending enough time on a computer that typing is a huge concern
I can’t say more than that the locutorio’s keyboard was hard to adjust to. It took me 5 minutes to figure out “@” for crying out loud! I’ve snagged someone’s connection on Scott’s laptop now, but it’s unreliable, hence the visit to the internet cafe.
Nah, a minute here or there, but mostly just soaking in the local awesomeness!
Glad you’re having fun
Can’t wait to see pictures!
I’ve been thinking about you guys…glad to hear you’re having a great time!!
Your dance experience would have left you few excuses for not joining in!
Glad you’re having a good time there.
