On to Seville and a five hour bus ride. Outside of Seville is the town of Italica which has an excavated Roman amphitheater.
We made a brief stop and then on to Seville. Our hotel had a nice little courtyard with a patio. After unpacking, Ceil, Pat & I headed for the bar for a pre-dinner cocktail. The tiny bar was smoky so we took our drinks outside. Already there was a couple from Connecticut whose daughter was in school in Seville. They were eating the most wonderful looking olives, so we ordered some from the bar. Big Spanish Olives soaked in garlic…heaven. Pat doesn’t like olives so Ceil and I gorged ourselves. Later the couple went in and gave us what was left of their olives. By that time we were joined by others from our group and shared the remaining olives with us. This started our trend of olives at every meal and bar stop. Dinner was at the hotel and so-so. For dessert we were offered ice cream or fruit. Those who chose fruit got a tangerine and a hard pear.
