We started off the day with a guided tour of Sevilla. First we visited la Plaza de Espana. I became very excited when our tour guide informed us that the building had been used in the filming of Star Wars: Episode II! It was used for filming a scene on Naboo. I took quite a few pictures there. I was at Naboo!!! After that we visited the Alcazar. It was pretty neat looking. The gardens were very pretty. Then we went to visit la Giralda, a Spanish cathedral. La Giralda houses the supposed grave site of Christopher Columbus. After viewing that, we climbed to the top of the bell tower for a beautiful view of the city. The bells started ringing while we were up there. It was pretty noisy.
After the tour we got more free time. Jackie, Lisa, & I wandered around until we found some more restaurants. We ended up eating at a small place with mainly Italian foods. I ordered a type of fettuccini with shrimp. It was so good! Then we went shopping for the rest of the afternoon. We ended up buying quite a few more things. I bought presents for Mom, Dad, Adam, Sammi, and Cailin.
Then it was back to the hotel to get dressed up for the flamenco dance. We heard a commotion outside the door of our room. Our room was right by the elevator. It turned out that a few of the brainless popular girls had gotten themselves and a few other people stuck in the elevator. Spanish elevators are very small and were only supposed to contain a max of 6 people. They had crammed 10 in the elevator and gotten stuck. They were freaking out and screaming. After half and hour the hotel managed to get everyone out. Then we could go to the dance.
The dance was so much fun to watch! It was put on by a large group of dancers. Different groups of dancers performed quite a few different dances. A few of the guy dancers were kind of cute. I recorded a bunch of videos. Learning to flamenco dance would be so fun! Ole!
Then we went back to the hotel for a dinner buffet. That ends another exciting day in Spain.
