The countdown begins!
It is hard to believe, but I feel like our time in Europe is starting to run out. We are currently exploring Spain (actual location is Seville).
What have we been doing in Spain since Barcelona? After we visited Barcelona, we went to Figueres for a night. This is the birth place of Salvador Dali (think melting clocks). Here we saw a museum that he created that had a a lot of his works. Unfortunately none of his really famous ones, but it was still really cool. Next we went to Valencia. One of the things we saw here was the Aquarium. It is the third largest in the world. After Valencia, we went to Madrid for a couple of days. We saw the three big art museums: The Prado, The Reina Sofia and The Thyssen-Bornemisza.
Last night we stayed in Cordoba. Today we saw the Mezquita Cathedral and then took a train to Seville. In Seville we had time to make Fajitas for diner and then we went to a Flamenco show that was free at a bar near by. Tomorrow we think we will try to see another show, because we are not sure if we saw a good one or not.
Sorry, no photos. I cannot connect the harddrive to the computer. Maybe next time.

That was quite the whirl-wind summary of the last little while. So was the Flamenco show you saw not so good? What makes you believe you saw a not so good one?
We saw another Flamenco show in Barcelona and we enjoyed it a lot more. The one in Barcelona had a male dancer, but this one had a female dancer. We were told that female dancers were suppose to be better to watch, but we prefered the other show more. Besides, another Canadian that we met said her tour book says that this venue was free, but not very good. Tonight we are going to try one that you pay for and see if that makes a difference.
Just out of curiousity, what guide book are you using?
Your time is running out? What does that mean? When do you guys head back to Canada?
We are using a combination of books. We have a Lonely Planet book for Europe (cut up into the different countries that we had planned to visit), but we haven't used it all that much. We also have used the Eyewitness guides or the National Geographic guides, both are extremely useful.
Our time in Europe is running out. We only have a couple weeks left. Maybe you missed the countdown clock at the top of the page? We fly back on December 13th.
