Why I love Sevilla

I am too tired to write. It's late again ... and I've been up late for too many nights in a row. My first week in the archivo was satisfying; in fact, I would even dare say ... thrilling. But I'm looking forward to a quiet Sunday of resting, reading and nesting.

They say pictures are worth a thousand words, don't they? I'll let them speak for me tonight.

Beautiful pictures...thank you so much for sharing.

The only cathedrals I've seen lately were made of granite billions of years ago, and are slightly less...ornate.

hope that you're having a wonderful time, and more importantly, learning much.

Gorgeous pics. I'm going to have to visit Spain one day. I'm glad you enjoyed your first week at the archives. And you and Bill are a very cute couple, I must add.

Tired or not, you did an admirable job of informing your followers of your Espana experience. All the pictures are interesting and very well done. You're getting to be quite the photographer. I especially like the door knockers ... wish I had some like that!
