I want to thank all of you for taking the time to read my blogs, even though I tend to be long-winded in my writing! :) This one will be no exception, since I've been lazy enough to not blog for three weeks!
Two weekends ago, I went to visit Sevilla (Seville in English) by train with three friends, and it was incredible! I had my first hostel experience, but I have to say it was a good one! Sarah, Claire, Shannon and I got to spend the weekend exploring the city and riverbank, looking at the third-largest cathedral (after St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and St. Paul's in London), the Real Alcazar and more!

The cathedral was absolutely awe-inspiring! Among the many things inside that I could talk about, there was Christopher Columbus' tomb, the huge altar (pictured below) made of gold with images of Jesus Christ, the clock that has been ticking for over 200 years, and an amazing view from the Giralda Tower!

Finally, Sarah and I finished the last day with a tour of the bullfighting ring and a look at the museum inside. We also got to see where the royalty sits when they come to the bullfights, where the best bullfighter will enter the ring from, where they keep the bulls before it starts, and the surprisingly ornate chapel that the bullfighters pray in before the event.
Overall, it was a great weekend and I got to explore one of the great cities of Spain!
