Today was my last day at work. We held a team building exercise by going to an extended lunch in the Sevillian style that lasted all afternoon. We went to a village 20 km out of town and had a 5 course meal in the Argentinian style: (1)appetizer - green peppers, garlic and olive oil (2) pastry - a meat pie (3) chorizo sausage (4) grilled steak and fried potatoes (5) dessert was pancakes like crepes filled with chocolate and cream. They had beer and I had water.
They are great guys to work with and I will miss being here. They have tole me they can hardly wait until I come back. That is very nice to hear.

After Ken got home from his last day at work we decided to go back to the Old Historic part of Seville one more time to do a little more shopping, take some more photos, walk through the Jewish Quarter, have some dinner and walk the 4 km back to our hotel. We left at 6:30 pm and arrived back after midnight. We had a great time walking the streets, seeing the sights, listening to an awesome young lady who played the flute and serenaded up and down the streets to folks who were having dinner.

The beginning of the Jewish Quarter
Note the narrow streets - one car can also go down these streets so when you see a car you have to move over and literally hug the wall.
These side streets are filled with a large variety of shops.

| These side streets are the narrowest ones that even cars can't go down. People actually live in the apartments above the street. You can see a small balcony on the wall to the left. Flower boxes are also seen on the wall to the left. We saw some very little children come out of one of the doors and were singing and running around. The end of the streets usually end up in a large open courtyard with a few restaurants. These restaurants usually open around 8 pm for drinks and dinner. |
