A DAY IN THE PARQUE

By Whitney Strong and Roddy Moye
5.30.2008

At 11:00 AM we all met at Starbucks in La Puerta de Jerez. We walked a bit and then took the bus to the Torre de los Perdigones. We got a wonderful view of Seville. The city was reflected on a disc inside the tower via a mirror (a camera obscura). We could see EVERYTHING. We went out side the tower onto a balcony and could see all of Seville spread out before us.




Then we walked a really long way to the park. We walked across the Barqueta Bridge which spans the Guadalquivir River. We arrived at the Parque del Alamillo and had lunch. We brought lots of drinks and snacks and also the “pic-nic”s our families made for us. The day was so beautiful and after spending lots of time in the park, we took the bus home. We took a short stop at the Plaza de Nueva. We had free time after that but all the stores were closed due to the holiday.

Tomorrow we are going to the beach in Cadiz! Adios!

P.S. from Traña and Gooding - sorry there are no videos but we are in Cadiz/Puerto de Santa Maria and the internet services are intermittent. We cant seem to stay on line long enough for a video to upload. We´ll keep trying and will attach more later.
