Email from Ken for the blog:

There was a bit of a hold-up with my badge this morning.  The security folks didn't connect Ken Rees with Kenneth William Rees.  It didn't take long to correct, but it just goes to show how different customs can change a situation.  To most of us my nickname (Ken) is a natural shortening of my real name but not so here in Spain!

Shops galore!  

After Ken got back from work we decided to hop the Tram and go down to the Old Historic Seville and try and finish the shopping for all the grandchildren and great grandchildren.  It is really easy to find things for the girls but the boys are much harder.

Shopping in the tiny, narrow streets that run everywhere in the old town is like going on a treasure hunt in a corn maze!  I told Ken we really had to stick together or I was sure one of us would get lost and I didn't want it to be me!

Little girls flamenco dresses - too cute!

Humour me honey because we have to shop till we drop!

Oh my gosh --- how can you decide which one you want!!!

Yes, all these pastries were displayed in one shoppe!
 Pastry Shops - no kidding - everywhere!  Self control - only sampled a FEW.....!

After going to the pastry shoppe a must is stopping at the Gelato (Ice Cream) places
 that are also on every street corner!

Wouldn't it be awesome to sample every flavour!

Ken and I decided to share a small Cheesecake Gelato!  Good choice both on size and flavour!
There's always tomorrow right!

Now for the 4 km walk back to our hotel - perhaps it will help burn off all the extra calories, eh!

Buenas Noches!!!
