Mallorca → Sevilla

The sunset yesterday evening was lovely:


There were a few people along the shore to watch and a busker playing some songs on a guitar (quite good). It wasn't the raucous event  of a Key West sunset, but beautiful nonetheless.

After dinner, we watched a classic lounge singer in the hotel bar for an hour. The standard stuff, Sinatra, Diamond etc, plus a few Spanish tunes thrown in for authenticity. His banter was mostly in German even though he was a Spaniard. This is because Mallorca appears to have more German tourists than any other nationality by far. There are German restaurants and bars, beer and pretzels and the staff all spoke at least German and English in addition to their native Spanish.

This morning we woke to heavy fog:


So different from the sunset the night before. We grabbed breakfast at the hotel, checked out, and headed down to the bus stop to catch the 8am bus to the airport. The trip back was uneventful. We reached Sevilla on time, caught bus back into town, and were in our flat around 12:15pm. All in all, a good trip.

We both practiced a bit of Spanish before heading to our respective classes at 4pm. After class, I did a fast 5 mile walk along the river. I did a little math, took a shower, had dinner and put on my PJs. Ready for bed now.
