SPAIN-Day Five

We are off to Sevilla. The flight was quick! We rented a car at the airport and headed off to Seville with a map in hand. I was driving and Jeff was navigating. Driving was tough in town and we had trouble finding our way so it was a bit nerve racking. I guess we were sitting ducks for a crime. While sitting at a light someone hopped off their moped and opened our car door and grabbed my purse and took off. It shook both of us quite a bit. Driving became even more difficult as we got close to the hotel. The streets were extremely narrow and not well marked. This was not our best day. We decided to take the car back to the airport and grab a cab to the hotel. Fortunately this hotel, the Petit Palace had free internet access and we were able to quickly cancel all of my credit cards so all in all it was ok. I lost my knitting which was a baby blanket that was ½ finished and some of our travel guides. It was upsetting but we survived and still had all of our essentials such as passports and licenses. After getting over the shock and work associated with our little snatch and run we wandered out into the beautiful streets of Sevilla. We were located with in the center of Sevilla beside the most amazing cathedral. Tonight we had some tapas and strolled around enjoying some of the best architecture we’ve seen so far. There is a very strong Moorish influence in most of the building here. We also had to walk to the police station to sign and get a copy of the police report. We found a favorite little place just a block from our hotel that we rounded out our evening at. The back room of this place had the traditional large barrels that wine is stored in. We enjoyed the Sangria here.
