Seeing Sevilla

As I mentioned yesterday, my mom and I had financial difficulties. Her card would work one place, then wouldn't at the next. Luckily we were able to pay for our hostel, a sexy new bikini for me, reservations for our night train to Italy, and a couple bites to eat. But the reservations for Sevilla (which were a pain in my butt because one lady said there was no availability and the next guy said oh yeah, no problem) and the bullfight did not accept her card. We found out today that both her cards had been put on hold because she used them over here, even though she had called before hand to make sure they knew.

Also, she had issues with her phone service over here, but with Fluff's help we got it all sorted.

We still managed to have a lovely and productive day in Madrid.

Today we got into Sevilla and my friend from Paris, Aaron, met us. He lead us to our hostel, and then to a restaurant where we ate pallea, a rice dish with either seafood or meat. Mom got the meat and it was much better, except that they left the bones in so you had to either chew carefully and spit the remains out, or use your hands.

Then Aaron took us around Sevilla. It is gorgeous and just so SPANISH. Love it. And the weather was beautiful. We talked of everything Texas and had a delightful time. Aaron dropped us at the hostel and we will take a siesta until meeting him to go out tonight. Siesta then fiesta!

Also, I made my mother her own section in my blog. It's called Debra's Take. I will have her update it later.
