We left Barcelona bright and early and flew down to Sevilla where warmer weather was rumored to await us. But since cold weather haunts me wherever I go, Sevilla was much chillier than expected. It looks like it will warm up when we leave. The bus ride into Sevilla was very frightening. Our worst projects put their apartment complexes to shame. They're what I imagined only to exist in eastern Europe. The ugliest part of a city I've ever seen. Then we entered the historic district, and it was exactly how I imagined Spain would be.
Our hostel is very cute with lots of outdoor space and the staff is super nice. We went exploring and had lunch first (again nothing to write home about), then came home and got ready to see a flamenco show.
The flamenco show had very pretty dresses but was a little boring otherwise. Cat and I make a good pair because we both expect much more from everything we see and do.
Then we went in search of food and nightlife and couldn't find it. We went back to the hostel and were told our only option was a 2am grocery store. So we walked all the way there and got a pizza. Then we walked all the way back to make the pizza and found our common area was off limits after 12. We had a sleeping roommate so couldn't eat in the room. We were forced to eat Pringles and candy bars on the curb outside. Every time a car came by we had to jump up and back. Then it got worse - we spied a band of drunk German boys coming down the street. 'Oh no! They'll harass us' we thought. But it was even worse than that. They walked by without a second glance. What's wrong with them that they don't feel the need to harass beautiful girls. I miss New York!
Trying to go to bed and end this sad night, Cat refused to let me sleep. First she practiced her fancy flamenco footwork in bed until I begged her to stop. Then she started peeking down the crack between the bed and the wall, lighting me up with her phone. I put my head under my blanket and fell asleep.

I was straightening my sheets!! I may have tapped my feet a few times, I swear it wasn't intentional- just inspired!

What's the cool building? Also, pringles and candy sounds pretty good...that might be my dinner tonight too!
It's this sculpture thing they call 'the mushroom'. I don't know any more about it!
