Here I am sitting outside in the beautiful courtyard at the hotel, under the orange trees, at 10.30 p.m. The sky is inky black, but I could do with a few stars. It's lovely, though.
It was very hot today, too hot for me really. But fortunately we headed out quite early and went to the Alcazar Palace. What a gorgeous place! I love Islamic architecture, and the gardens were shady and green. There was a peacock showing off for the camera, and I got told off for going on the grass to take photos of him. My other photos were disappointing, as there were so many people in the way.
After a long morning there, we lounged in the shade at a nice bar for a while, and then Tony headed off in the heat of the day to the bullring. He also went back to the new market, where he took some great pictures. In the meantime, I was cooling off in the room and thinking about where to go to eat this evening. What a life! We had a lovely meal tonight, and strolled back to our usual square to finish off the evening. On the way back we looked in the shops at the colourful flamenco dresses, and the old fashioned baby clothes. The little girls here look especially nice in their little frilly dresses.
We are going to Cordoba tomorrow on the train, and we're looking forward to it a lot. I'll be reporting on the day here on the blog as usual.
