Ever since our first week in Sevilla when we saw the boats going up and down the river, Rosa has said that she wants to take them at some point. Then, when we found out that the Graeber's were visiting, Rosa said the time to take the boat was when Eliza was in town. And so, we set off to do just that on Thursday. We started with a bus ride to Torre del Oro where we then bought our tickets.

After the boat ride we ate lunch nearby and then bussed back to the apartment for siesta.
That night we'd arranged for a babysitter so the adults could have a double date.
 |
| Our first stop was a drink on top of El Corte Ingles. |
 |
| Next it was drinks on the rooftop of the Eme Hotel across from the cathedral. Thank you Katherine for this fabulous suggestion. Jim - loved watching you try Carla's wine. |
 |
| More views of the super interesting roof. |
 |
| Wow! Multiple couple shots in one evening. |
 |
| Our night wasn't over yet. Our next stop was at a real local's place, La Fresquita, around the corner from the boys' classmate Enrique's home. His mom had said that it's one of their favorites. It was great! |
That wasn't all. On our way back, we stopped at a bar in Alfalfa Plaza for another drink. The tables were cleared around us and the lights turned off and we got the hint to head on home a bit past midnight. What a great date night!
Alise, you could start a business touring American travelers around Sevilla!
