Well folks, this is going to be a light reading day! We spent the morning in Huelva relaxing and someone did some optimization of all her fridge magnets that seemed to be scattered everywhere so that we had one less Holland America bag of “things” that we were packing around and then about 2pm we were off to Sevilla! The drive was only going to take us an hour and guess what? It only took us an hour – we did not even get lost this time getting out or into a city! The landscape was pretty well what you have seen before – flat, fields, corn, hay or trees. We finally figured out what some of the trees are – orange trees that do not have oranges on them yet – or big oranges that you can see. OR they are Oak trees which produce acorns and those acorns are fed to special Iberian pigs (which are not pink but black) that supposedly produce the best ham in the world (according to Spain). Yes, there is a pecking order in Spain for pigs and what they get fed! While I do not have any pictures of trees on this journey, I do have pictures of rhododendrons. It is just so pleasant to drive along the main freeways (and tollways) in Spain and have so many flowers along the way! I have included in my pictures below some that we saw on the way to Sevilla. I have no pictures of entering Sevilla as I needed to be navigator and cannot multi task reading Spanish, giving directions and listening to Google at the same time. There will be more pictures of Sevilla in the coming days! I have included some of the hotel though… best part of front room of our Junior Suite and basically first comment Andrew said? “Oh good – the fridge is right next to the chair so I can get a beer anytime I am watching soccer!” NOT, we were upgraded again, what a nice room or anything like that! 🙂
