Sevilla

Today I was depressed and lonely. After 2 days of travelling with Jason and actually having someone to talk to other than myself, it was difficult getting back to solo travelling. but with the help of sunshine and loads of sugar, i think im managing.

Seville is really small but its spread out over quite a chunk of land. its very much moorish/muslim influenced architecture and has a beautiful moorish palace with the most intricate carvings i´ve ever seen in europe or asia for that matter. geometric designs carved into stone, wood and elaborate mosaics covered the walls and ceilings of the palace. themed gardens reminiscent of idyllic days in the sun gave cool relief to the sun outside. (sunblock required) but i wasnt really interested in all that bish bash. so bored walking through the gardens feeling so lonely and miserable. it´s easter sunday and the streets were filled with families celebrating easter; men were dressed in smart navy suits, women in chic couture dresses and leather bags, children wore a scaled down version of their parents. i was wandering the streets alone and feeling daggy and worn out. my luggage was still in barcelona while i was in seville. my pants had been worn and not washed for over a mth. i had the grand total of 2 t-shirts.

the shops were all closed, i couldnt find english newspapers... my life was a sham. i feel like coming home right now but the only thing stopping me is how mch i know i would regret it and the money ive already spent on airfare etc. not to mention my hostel is freaking expensive. and i couldnt get into a bullfight. and i visoited a flamenco museum which was ok only and cost me 10 euros. so after bumming around in my room for a bit, i went for a walk around the park and to visit the few other attractions seville has to offer ( i.e. 2 buildings and a park)

tomorrow im headed off for cordebo which is a town 40 minutes away by a very fast train. its costing me an arm, leg and ten toes. but stupid me got an early ticket so ill be there at 8am in the morning. with a leisurely brekkie and a slow walk to the mosque, it shoud be alright. then i might get a haircut(hair like mop) and then come back in the evening. another walk around the town then leaving for madrid on tue morning for cheaper hostels and again nothing much to see in madrid. lol. hai.
