Seville in the Rain



Rain,rain, go away! What a down pour.... and so far the foreast is for more! Ok, must remain chipper and just use the time constructivelty... Jims so smart, he just told me to find an App for my Ipod so I can make entries to the blog. It works great now. Man these techy things are so cool!

So, here we are. I walked over to a large book store, FNAC (prounced Finac) it's a Spanish Chapters. The one in Barcelona was HUGE. 6 floors! This one is a bit smaller, still lots of floors, they make good use of vertical space here. I was looking for the book Don Quixote but unable to find the famous novel, so settled for Jane Austen's Northhanger Abby. I need something to do while riding out the rain. But apparently Jim and I are fair weather touristas, even in the pouring rain there were crowds of wet, smiling, .....but did I mention wet?... tourists! Umbrellas, rain ponchos, maps in hand and following their guide. We were going to take the walking tour this morning but deceided to gamble and wait and see if tomorrow is better. We're here till Friday........ Sun, pleeeease come out! We'll have to venture out for food soon, tummies starting to growl...... for food I'll get wet, hahaha, other than that, forget it! Our hotel is lovely and quaint, and the staff are marvelous..... Why would we leave?
Oh, I did want to mention, it is a humbling thing to be in such a large chain bookstore, filled with books, ALL in SPANISH!! Oh, I did find the English section, a 7 ft high by 6 ft wide section, right next to the French section of similar size!! What! You mean the entire world doesn't read in English! ;)

Adious,
Barb
