Sevilla day 1

I finally pulled together the will power to leave beautiful sevilla.  My one night stay ended up being a total of 3 nights.  After just being at the hostel for one day my nervous butterfly's vanished.  I slept in and missed the free breakfast that ends at 10:30.   I learned that either in the USA or Spain I still love my sleep.  So lucky for me the hostel has a free food section in the fridge that other travelers have left which happened to be fresh pineapple and toast which I love.  But missing the free breakfast also had another benefit that I didnt relize until now while I'm on the train to Granada. 

All the tourists and everyone traveling takes advantage of the free breakfast which makes sense.  But once the breakfast is over all the travelers head out to the city and the kitchen fills up with the people that work at the hostel.  So I was able to sit down and talk with everyone that works there and I became very good friends with the whole staff.

I visited the plaza De espana and the cathedral de sevilla after breakfast.  The cathedral is the worlds largest Gothic building in the entire world.  And because it was Sunday I got In for free.  Right when I walked in my jaw dropped. After about two minutes of taking it all in this loud deep organ filled the entire church with a bellowing sound that was just incredible.  I actually went in a second time shortly after just to make sure what I was seeing was real and every time you go in or out there are these ladies with like little green branches that walk up to you and say all these things in Spanish that I didn't understand.  But I've heard stories about people doing that in Europe and none of them had a happy ending.  So I did the no gracias and keep walking technique. 

I also visited a supermarket that Sophie told me about at breakfast.  It was a little off the beaten trail so I was able to see the culture a little more which was nice.  I spent about an hour just looking around and taking everything in and just noticing the similarities and differences from the united states.   And note to self. . .  don't spend a lot of time looking for peanut butter, it is really non existent in Spain.  So I scratched the idea of peanut butter and went with breakfast bars.   

I still have two more days in Seville to talk about and to type. . .  ugh.  I have to start making these shorter or something.  I still have an hour on the train so we will see if I can get through the next two days before my adventures in Granada begin.
