This has got to end...

So we were gone for a long time on our trip and while it's fun for us to post pics so we can look through them and remember the good times, we've got to finish this up.  So I'm going to mash the remaining days into what I hope, will be, a condensed version.  And by condensed I mean the 80 picture kind.  Enjoy!!  Spain was sweet.

Ronda, Spain - yes they used to throw political prisoners off of the bridge during the reign of Franco

Gettin' rowdy at the oldest bull ring in the world
Our room at the Alma Sevilla Hotel, it was extra comfy
Entrance to our Hotel in Seville, it's a converted palace

It's a great book
Chocolate con churros - yes please
Gorg andalucian horse
The Alcazar in Seville
Classic Paella with peach juice... yummy
The streets of Seville
We drove our car down this very street - there was about an inch on each side

Cordoba, Spain - Mosque and Cathedral





Toledo spain - beautiful medieval city famous for it's steel, swords, and marzipan




There was no shortage of armor and swords



Madrid, Spain - Silken Puerta America Hotel, amazing!  Each of the floors was designed by a different architect and looked completely different from the others.  





The lobby of another floor
and yet another
and yet another
and another
and ours
Main lobby



We saw a Flamenco Performance in Seville (though this picture was taken in Madrid), it was one of the highlights of the whole trip. 








We loved this market in the center of Madrid
Food Matt loved from his mission, peach juice and fruit of the forest yogurt
Don't mind Matt's little head in the middle of the sculpture

I really like you guys. Your trip looks simply amazing. I also love how you are just as excited about the hotel you are staying at as you are about the city. You know how to travel.
