Sevilla, Day 1 - we love a city with required nap time

The Flamenco Show we went to at Casa del Carmen - we got lucky and got to see Carmen herself!

Well, we finally made it to Sevilla after the longest journey ever - Abbey thought we went to hell and back, but Jen reminded her it was just to Jerez.

Sick of public transportation, we got a taxi - which was surprisingly cheap - to our hostel, a charming little place called Hostel Redes.  It was located in a cute little Spanish alley.

Mojitos and Sangria at the show... yum!

We were exhausted from all the traveling, and took advantage of the Spanish tradition of "siesta" by taking a two hour nap.

We awoke at six, still tired but ready to face the city - we walked around the city for a while, embarassed ourselves with our horrible Spanish, and had some delicious ice cream because we couldn't find food yet - the Spaniards don't eat until at least 8.

We got tickets to a Flamenco show, got some sandwiches (after another language-barrier-fiasco) and headed to Case de Carmen for flamenco and Spanish Guitar... we loved it!  They had the best mojitos we had ever had, and great Sangria.

Hostel Redes... our adorable hotel in Sevilla.

After the show, we walked back to the hostel and passed out - another wild night with Abbey and Jen.
