Day 16

Today we had a private tour of both the alcazar (palace/fortress) and the cathedral. The cathedral houses Christopher Columbus' remains and is the third largest in Europe, only smaller than the Vatican and the Milan Cathedral. The Alcazar has a pretty interesting history; its main plaza has one wall remaining from a roman fortress, one from the arab palace, and the other two are gothic. In the cathedral, I ran up 35 ramps and 17 steps to the top of the bell tower, which was probably the highest point in Sevilla. Tonight we ate at a Tex-Mex Bar and had burgers, which were actually pretty good; I got a shirt. Then we took blue light pictures of the cathedral and got ice cream.
