Spain Wrap Up

It’s hard to believe we have been on our journey for two weeks. It has been mostly hiccup free and while the boys have been bored at times (walking city streets), it has been a great two week trip. On Saturday, Riina and I went to the neighbors to do laundry as their washer broke when we did our loads the first weekend. 

We put the first load in and went down the block to cute tree shaded square and had a coffee and toast. We returned hoping the load would be done, but it was not.  We read some magazines, did some yoga and finally had to stop the load! We figured out a quick load and with the 3rd load, we went for paella for lunch. It was a nice outing and nice to feel like a “local.” 

Marshall and the boys walked to the skate park, got a churro, and then went to lunch. I joined them at lunch and then we went on a walking tour of the old historic neighborhood of Santa Cruz near the palace and then went to Setas de Sevilla to take in the view and have a drink. We then headed back to Matt and Riina’s for home made pizza and cheesecake. I can’t put into words how wonderful it was to have local hosts and tour guides. Sad that this part of our adventure is over and Marshall is leaving us.
