Day Five: Sevilla

We skipped the cornflakes and went out for churros con chocolate this morning. Soooo rich. The churros were just like big tubes of funnel cake - very greasy and heavy. The chocolate was a lot thicker than ours, but not quite as sugary. My taste buds enjoyed the meal, but my stomach told me I better stop eating soon... or else.

After our healthy breakfast we went shopping. There are tons of cheap (and cheaply made) clothing stores here. We checked out an H&M to make sure it wasn't any different - same exact stuff. At a little boutique Cat got a sailor sundress that I am so envious of. Later I got a polka dot jumpsuit that I was happy to get - but it doesn't compare to that dress. I found a little golden spoon for Popperton since she is obsessed with having the right spoon.

We went to a cafe that advertised rice and veggies for lunch. Since we had such good rice before we were excited to have more. This rice was more like paella and the rice was undercooked. Another food disappointment!

We stayed at the hostel for dinner and finally had our frozen pizza accompanied with our free sangria. Then we went out again in search of nightlife. It's very confusing to figure out what is a bar or cafe and what is closing soon or not. We ended up at a place with the best sangria yet - they added a thick layer of sugar to the bottom of the cup. Amazing! The ice cream shops stay open super late here. It's so sweet to see groups of boys walking around with their ice cream cones. Kristin would love this city!

The sailor jumpsuit is lovely! I am envious of it- and wish I had thought to try it on. Alas, I think our matching days are over- best leave that to the young children of Spain. We also stopped in a little toy shop and got a flamenco Barbie dress for Lucy. It is so lovely, I secretly want to keep it for myself, but I guess I should leave it to the young to play with Barbies as well.
