Team Lawrence in Sevilla: Wednesday, May 27

Wednesday morning started with a walk with Kathering and her daughter. We wandered up the Alameda and she showed me her gym. It has an indoor pool and it's a place I want to try out for both the kids and myself. From there, we stopped for coffee at a place that reminded me of American coffee shops, which I love. And then we walked over to the mushrooms market where she showed me the best fishmonger. And then we walked into the pedestrian area where she showed me her favorite bakery and the breads that she enjoys. It was wonderful having a local of 15 years share her favorites.

From there, I met the kids for lunch. It was Devon's day to choose and he chose Bushi.

Rosa ordered 2 eggs. She loves the way it looks like a ray.

Serious Rosa.

Happy Rosa.

Devon with his kid's meal.

That afternoon I went to another pilates class and really enjoyed it.

After school, we stopped by the multilungal book fair taking place at the main school patio. I treated the kids to 2 books each in English.

Rosa showed me this piece of artwork. All of the students were asked to color a mandala and then to ask their parents to "buy" them with the money going towards education for Nepali children. We really like the school here, and one aspect of the school is that they promote giving to people in need. In this case, there's a call to support Nepal not only at the school but at other places throughout Sevilla.
Proud mama loved all of the colors Rosa chose.

At home we saw this banner on the window below our apartment. It's for the Sevilla soccer team Sevilla Futbol Club. There was a championship game for the Europe League on Wednesday night, and while it was played outside of Spain, there were people throughout the city all day wearing their Futbol gear and chanting songs.

Scott watched part of the game at home, and every time Sevilla scored, our courtyard would erupt in cheers. Eventually Scott decided to join the crowds and he headed over to Alameda to an area with 2 big screen tvs. Here is a peek at what the crowds there were doing.
