    Hi there, as you all probably know I have lived in Spain now for 9 yrs, but this weekend I went to Sevilla. What a beautiful city it is and I have taken a lot of pictures for you to see. Enjoy. We went for a quilt show, however my camera´s batteries gave out on the steps to the show so I will have to wait for the pics of the quilts and post them later. we were slightly disappointed as it wasn´t the big show we were anticipating but there were some beautiful and innovative quilts there.
    Please bear with me while I post the pics. Thanks
    Elle

    How about this for a smart train bound for Barcelona

    Looks like you had a wonderful time! I think the carriage ride would be great. You are so right, it is a beautiful city.

    Elle,
    Thanks for sharing your trip. The pictures tell the story of a wondrous time.
    I wish our North American governments would support the growth of trains (I hate to fly). What an efficient looking sytem.
    Thanks for putting a picture to what little I know about Spanish history.
