June 13 - Setas over Sevilla

This morning, while Albert showed the Gruchot's around Plaza de Espana, I finished up my homework, went to the store, and made lunch. 

Sadly, then new student in my class decided today to move down a level to fill in some holes in her grammar.  So, I was back to being alone in class.

After class, I walked over to meat the family at a restaurant that Albert and I like.  The food is good and the service is great and you can make reservations.  Of course it doesn't open until 8:30 (we are in Spain after all).  So, I took a bit of a winding route to get there.  On my way, I got to see one of the processions heading back from Rocio.

Dinner was nice - and we enjoyed both the food and each other's company.  Some of the technology problems folks were having here in Spain never did get worked out - luckily, we have all been able to communicate with each other.

After dinner, Albert and John headed back to Triana to see the big Rocio procession and I escorted the rest of the crew over to the Setas to check out the city from above.  It meant we missed the procession, but we did get some great views.
Tomorrow we head out bright and early for a day trip to Cordoba, then we say goodbye to the Gruchot's as they head off to Madrid and then back to the US on Saturday and we come back for our last two weeks in Sevilla.
