With it raining so rarely here, it didn't even occur to me to factor weather into the plans for the day. But I walked downstairs this morning to find a cloudy sky and wet street so it was back up to my room to fetch my umbrella. I didn't actually use it though because I refused to encourage the slight drizzle that persisted throughout the day.
We had planned on going back to the real alcázar to spend some more time in the gardens, but the thing about gardens is they're outside... so to the plaza de toros we went. It was something we felt like we had to do while we were in Sevilla and it was cool to see the bull ring and all that. But it probably would have been more exciting if we were actually going there to see a bull fight. But the season doesn't start til the april fair two weeks after easter. Darn.
After that it was not exactly raining so we decided to try our luck with the gardens. It managed to stay dry long enough for us to see all the pretty trees that are now in bloom unlike the time we went a month ago or whenever it was. And we got to spend some time walking through the labyrinth which was fun. The rain just couldn't stay away though so once it started picking up again we headed out.
We stopped by a place where we picked up our favorite chocolate pastries before coming back to the house to begin the oh so fun task of looking at hotels and means of transportation and things to do in all the places we will be visiting when we leave spain. We've now got a place to stay in Rome and in London. And I have a vague idea of how we will get from the airports to the hotels. But even just that started giving me a headache so I'll put the rest off for another day. Oh traveling. I know it will be worth the time spent once I'm there and everything goes more smoothly due to prior planning, but I still don't like it.
Here's hoping the weather is nicer tomorrow. But I should probably go to bed soon because it's daylight savings time here and I'm hating the idea of losing and hour of sleep.
