TIm and Ryañ´s Last Day

The pub crawl the hostel put on, turned out to be a pretty good time. It cost 10€ but we got a shot at each bar and beers were only about 1€. Needless to say we got back to the hostel really late and crawled into bed.

We woke up at the usual time of noon, and got ready for the day. The plan was to see The Alcazar, but we got caught up roaming the streets of Seville. We ended up going to the ¨5th Avenue of Seville¨ and walked around and looked at all the trendy European clothes. I ended up buying some lame tee shirt for 6€, but I didn´t really care, I just wanted a clean shirt!!

After walking the shopping district Jed decided he wanted to get out of the city, so went on a day trip to Cadiz, a nice ocean down about 90 minutes away from Seville. I´m sure he´ll blog about that later. The rest of us decided we needed a siesta! So we went back to the hostel, and got out of the sun for a few hours. After our siesta, we went cafe hopping around Seville, and across the river into Triana. Triana is kind of like a borough of Seville, and not touristy at all. It was a really nice walk, and we kept stopping along the way for cervezas!

We all met back at the hostel at 9, and decided that we would go to a Flamenco dance show. We asked the hostel, and they pointed us in the right direction, and we ended up at this really cool Flamenco bar. At first it was empty, but by 10:30 it was packed with tourists. The Flamenco dancer was really good, and it was interesting to watch. Someone played the guitar, and another guy sang and clapped along with the dancer. It was actually really awesome. Jed thinks when he gets back to the States, he´s going to take lessons.

After the Flamenco show we headed back to our rooftop and hung out with all of our hostel friends. Hostel living is so similar to dorm living, theres always something going on, and you can never remember anyone´s name. Then we went next door to The Cave and got some late night eats with a guy from South Korea. He was really cool, and it was interesting talking about current events with someone with such a different perspective than our own. I think Ryan´s favorite part of this trip is talking about politics to EVERYONE, but his biggest disappointment is finding out that outside NYC, no one knows where or what Willimasburg, Brooklyn is!
