                                      Random Parade
                                      A replica of the boat which Columbus used to
                                      sail the ocean blue, but first Sevilla
                                      The third largest Cathedral in Europe

To do for next trip :        Make it across the bridge to Calle Bettis, came close but no cigar.
                                      Make it the buddha club....whatever that is.

                                      Climb the tower on top o the Cathedral, was hindered by painful foot on this escursion .

Favorites;

Gotta Love Spanish architecture
                  
Proverbs 18; 10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe. 11 The rich man's wealth is his strong city, and as an high wall in his own conceit.12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, and before honor is humility....24 A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that   sticketh closer than a brother.
Cathedral
In the Jewish Quarters we were told various Stories, the most poignant being the one of Susana. A young girl who was partly responsible for the death of her father and thousands of Jews because she revealed a deadly secret to her boyfriend, a Catholic solider. Where her skull once hung is now a plaque with her name, a reminder that one should never betray ones family.
