Seville

After a six-hour bus ride, we arrived in beautiful Seville, which is a relatively small city in southern Spain and just happens to be the sister city of Kansas City! The Country Club Plaza shopping area in Kansas City was modeled after Seville and we could see some resemblances in the architecture and tilework as we walked around the city. In Seville, we got more of a taste of life in Spain, including siestas (most of the shops close down for a 2-3 hours in the afternoon) and late mealtimes (lunch around 2 or 3 in the afternoon, dinner around 10 or 11 at night!). While we were on board for the siestas, we couldn't quite hold out that long to eat our meals!
