New Year's Day in Sevilla


We woke to the New Year of 2013 in Sevilla, Spain.  With everything closed, we took advantage of spectacular weather to go on a walking tour of the city.  Finding the main plaza, the Plaza de Espana, was a true highlight.  We wished we could just bottle the cool, but sunny weather and take it with us wherever we went.


We had a delightful rowboat ride on the canal (minus one child who was not as happy), and we discovered that some adults are better at rowing a boat than others.  It truly is a picturesque plaza, even if we were unable to get a picture that matches the masterpiece which Doug's parents had snapped about a week earlier. 


We also got to have a nice carriage ride around the park, and discovered why so many people would love to spend many weeks in Sevilla, learning Spanish or soaking up the culture.   What a beautiful day to start the New Year!
