A first, on our last day

On our last day I did something for the very FIRST TIME.  I was anxious and if you know me and my proneness to accidents (remember fall and scrapped knee on day 2?) you would be VERY worried for me.  We took a SEGWAY tour of Sevilla.  Me, on a Segway- can you believe it?  Turns out it was absolutely fantastic!  After my initial wibble wobbleness when getting on and understanding how it worked, I got REALLY good at it.  Our guide gave a great instruction on how it worked and was patient.  He took us around to a bunch of areas and shared some great info about the different things we stopped at.  After that we went to the cathedral.  My goodness!  Huge with things to see in every direction- including the final resting place for Columbus, numerous side altars and a high main altar behind gilded gates.  Can’t even begin to describe that one.  Amazing.  So for quite some time we listed to the audio guide, wandered around, tried to capture some of the beauty and prayed along the way (and gave thanks for no more injuries on the Segway tour!) After that we meandered back to the hotel to cool off and rest the feet.  They were sore!  (We did take breaks and got off the Segway a few times during the 2 hour tour but my feet ached so much.  I think they were just extra tense because you use them to go forward, backward and to stop.  Then add touring a huge church-forget about it.  Feet: done). Then we headed with some people from the group to a flamenco dance.  Man, is that something to watch.  The clapping, stomping, snapping, arms, hands, using their expressions, gestures and scarves to tell the story.  Something you have to see if you’re here!  Then we ended the night eating tapas, which seemed fitting.  Much to Julie’s chagrin there was an open church on a new route back to the hotel (just a brief stop).  THAT seems like a more fitting way to end this trip.  Adios, Esapna! ( well hopefully- we have a short layover, so say a prayer for us).
