Thursday, July 2 - Grandma Carol day #3

Grandma Carol went on a walking tour of central Sevilla.

The kids and I took a bus to Parque de los Principes.

I thought it'd be a great treat since we'd be on an air conditioned bus there and the park has loads of trees.

But, the play area was not shaded.

Except for this much sought after resting area.

We didn't last long before it was time to get out of the heat and back home to AC.

That night we ordered Domino's pizza for delivery (the first time we'd tried delivery in Spain) and  Grandma Carol watched the kids while Scott and I went on a date.

We finally made it to La Azotea for a meal.  The Website said it opened at 8 and we arrived a little bit after that (crazy Americans that we are).  Rather, it didn't open until 8:30 and almost every table was quickly taken once the doors opened.  Scott had fish for dinner.

I had an amazing and beautiful (and squishy) meal of squid.  

After dinner we roamed home the long way and re-stumbled upon a store, XXXII The Great Power of Beer, that sells beers from all over.  This is a rarity in Sevilla where your choice of beer is almost always Cruzcampo.

While Scott tried the 3 beers on tap, they weren't quite as cold and refreshing as he would have liked.  And so he opted for this beer.  Jeff - this one's for you.

We'd seen an art store near our home and we'd contacted them to find out when they'd be open so we could check out this picture.  They opened for us that night.  And while we REALLY like this scene, the painting had multiple very noticeable marks on it.
