recoger las camas.

so, spain had a little more of a taste of mechanicsville the past ten days. a little taste in the form of robby saady, with tomato bread on the side.

it started with me on the train to the airport, anxious like a 5-year old. i finally got there and ran all the way to 'llegadas' and screamed when i saw him. we took the train back. i offered him some wine from my leather wine flask. we laughed at everything... namely my complete blissful ignorance of where we were or anything that was going on.

we went to sorli discau with robby's luggage and picked up our travel snacks: vino tinto, baguette, manchego, jamon. we got back to the lovely sant jordi 5 and i gave him the grand tour of our charming piso. he showered, i packed... haha packing is so funny... and we left for the train station.

we boarded a night train, a hotel night train, headed towards seville, eta: 7am. our room was cute. complete with a recoger las camas service. we stayed up late drinking wine and me telling robby of all of my ridiculous adventures. we finally slept for a little while. i kept one eye opened, knowing robby's bunk was about to fall and smash my head.

there was some dreadful lightning when we woke up. haha. kind of.

we got to seville and it was a beautiful morning. we took a cab to the hotel cervantes, tucked between some of the crazily planned streets in seville. after our check in and some tomato bread in a cafe nearby, we spent the rest of the day exploring the city. which was so beautiful. we bought sorpresas, two for one euro, had tapas, icecream, had our fortunes read and then were cheated by the 'fortune teller' ( mujer, el no puede comprenderte.), climbed to the tower in the beautiful cathedral, and took lots of pictures. we had caiprinhas at a little american bar (que divertido... the national drink of brazil at an american bar in the heart of one of spain's most historic city's.) dinner was lovely. we went to a bar beside the restaurant, and went back to our hotel.

i read in my travel guide, "if a person is to only see two cities in spain, let them be toledo and seville"

check.
