[Idyllchat] Seville and Madrid

[LRichar306 at aol.com]

We were in Seville a couple of years ago.  Maria arranged for a  private 
guide for us and it was well worth it.  We had a wonderful walking  tour.  She 
also directed us to a travel agent who booked a room for us in a  lovely hotel.  
(Just watch those marble floors in the bathrooms when they  get wet.)   We 
only stayed one night and wished we had stayed  two.  We went to the Flamenco 
show...what fun that was and crossed the  river into the area where they make the 
gorgeous tiles and also the home of the  Flamenco schools.  We parked the car 
at the hotel and walked the whole time  we were there.
 
The cathedral is a marvel but it gives you a hint as to why Islam doesn't  
care too much for us Christians.  I can't blame them.  It had been a  mosque and 
the Church took it over.
 
Madrid was also great.  Dodge booked us into a wonderful hotel on a  plaza.  
I don't remember the name but I'm sure he will.  All the life  that goes on in 
the plaza is worth the extra money.  The music, the  restaurants, etc are at 
your feet.
 
The art museum are fabulous!  There are many and all have paintings  you have 
always heard about and now you can see them.  We found Madrid easy  to walk, 
didn't have a car, didn't want a car.  The Spaniards were all  wonderful to us 
and the food mouthwatering.  You have to walk so you can  eat.
 
Talking about this makes me want to go again.
 
Vaya con Dios, amigo,
