Good morning Seville!

Yesterday was a rough one for me,  I thought I was going to die because of the heat. The forecast said 90, but it felt like 95! We did a tour of the city, by bus and by boat. We watched many Processions because it is Holy Week in Spain and they take it very seriously. I'd say at least 5,000 people crowded the streets to celebrate this religious event. It was something that I will probably never see again in my life. Children, mothers, men,  dressed up from head to toe. The way that they dress is like watching a fashion show, but I won't talk too much about that because that could be a blog all by itself. The Processions went on until about 2:30 in the morning, with people of all cultures taking in this event. There was also good food and lots of fun. This will be going on everyday this week, as it is a big tradition in Seville, as well as Spain. 

 I wanted McDonald's and Starbucks really bad,  so I took a stroll into the downtown area to get some, so I am enjoying that right now. Starbucks only serves  espresso and cappuccinos, so my dark roast will have to wait until I get back home :( it's all good though. The breakfast sandwiches are a little different, but there are some  that are similar to ours in the states. Yes, McDonald's, I am in heaven in a place that is like heaven!
