Sevilla

The Plaza Mayor at night. It was super modern and very strange. (Clearly!)
 A room inside the cathedral. 
 At this point, lots of the cathedrals are starting to become the same. But this one had tons of intricate gold and silver bejeweled creations. They took all the gold from the Americas.
 Beautiful stained glass window that actually depicts the Sevilla cathedral. I am thankful for the period of art history where they appreciated light! The earlier churches are so dark and depressing.
 There were lots of horse and carriages outside. My camera has a "miniature" effect that makes pictures taken from up high look like a train set or a doll house.
 The view of the city from the top of the tower was absolutely breathtaking. It was worth every step! And we have to make up for all this ice cream some time or another.
Amy Anne and I outside the tower post-climing. This building used to be a mosque, so the tower is a minaret-turned-steeple.
