Our excursion day on Saturday at the beach was a blessing-- here i am with Maggie (she and her husband Hendrik serve on staff with Connexxion, too and lead the Sevilla group), and my friend Inma!
Fran (Francisco) was one of my first friends in Spain-- what a great guy! This was his birthday!
Lauren and I had coffee in the center with a special friend Annie, whom I have also gotten to visit in her home in another city (Starbucks is in the background-- but no, did not get coffee there). Note: Starbucks was invited in the Northwest of the USA... very far from the delights of a real espresso machine found in literally thousands of bars in Europe, with much cheaper coffee and great atmosphere! Yes, in bars-- what I have found in Spain, at least, is that you do not need various types of eating establishments (yes, it exists)-- because the main place where you eat, drink and have your morning coffee with a tostada is a bar! Your "one- stop -shopping" adventure on every corner!
Love the flamenco dress creations... I will unfortunately miss the
Feria de Abril this year, where I would wear my very own flamenco dress (thanks, Lauren, for storing it there for me!).
This is a very old bar (remember what I said above!-- I got "tapas" here) in the old city Santa Cruz, with an interesting mounted wild pig!
