a few more pictures because i have time...

more photos from recent adventures (check out the post below for even more!)

hanging out in the large, beautiful gardens at the alcázar. it was so nice to see green! i feel ike sevilla (like lots of other cities) is buildings, buildings, and more buildings, with very little green to break it up.

i bonded with these trees (i think they are hemlock?) because the scent reminded me of boise and spokane! man, i miss the smell of pine trees!

roommates hanging out and eating delicious tapas! it may not look good, but those spinach crepes were awesome!


the top of the cieling in the sala de embajadores in the alcázar--sorry this one is out of order! i wasn´t going to put it in there, but it´s too beautiful not to! again, the picture does NOT do it justice! the cieling is a beautiful gold color that is covered in wonderful tesselations (yay for 7th grade math!). the tesselations are stars, because the ferdinand and isabella wanted to be ruler of everything--and the stars represent the universe. intersting (at least, i think so!).
