Laying low is Sevilla is wonderful. Sunday we went to Cadiz on the Southern coast of Spain. Our last beach day. Technically we swam in the Atlantic Ocean for the first time on this trip. This coast is less than 100 miles from the Strait of Gibraltar which separates the Mediterranean from the Atlantic. As usual, the water was crystal clear and warm. Both of us paid bittersweet tribute to the coast as we said goodbye to the sea.

It is SO hot here. By 1pm you can't do much but sleep, so we do. Saturday night we did see a Flamenco show, which was fabulous. Sunday night after Cadiz we watched Greece kick Portugal in the pants for the Eurocup. We found a TexMex bar in Sevilla and ate Mexican food. You know it isn´t my favorite, but it felt comforting and familiar, so I didn´t mind.

Today, our last day, we are in Cordoba for a Hammam (Arabic bath house) visit. Spa and massage on our last day, not bad, huh? Gotto go, time running out. You probably won't hear from us again til we are state side. See you soon.
