January In Seville

The start to my Seville adventure could not have been better.  I flew out of DFW (Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport) to Madrid.  The flight was practically empty.  I had a whole row to myself. A WHOLE ROW!!!  Now it kind of makes no difference as I cannot sleep on planes. Oh how I have tried! I did attempt to try. But, when I began to get sleepy there was 2h45 left in flight.  Around and hour out the crew came back out for breakfast. I will never pass up a meal. So needless to say no sleep was had...sigh...But, it was still glorious to stretch out.  It was like I was on my couch watching Netflix's. It definitely made the time go super fast.

If you are looking for movie suggestions definitely do not pick these titles!
Annabelle: Creation. Sooo slow and not scary at all. Waste of my viewing pleasure.
Atomic Blonde.  Now I love Charlize Theron, but this was not good.  Also very slow.
Dark Tower.  I do like Matthew Mcconaughey as a villain, but again just not good.  It lacked action to me.
After three terrible movies I was over it.  I went to the comedy section and found Bridesmaids.  I knew I could not go wrong with this selection. Unfortunately, we landed before I could finish so I will need to watch it again soon.

Back to the adventure.  I am very forgetful. I totally forgot to tell my bank that I was going out of the country.  When I remembered it was of course Saturday, and I was leaving on a Sunday. I did write an email, but knew they would not receive it in time. What I didn’t think about was having money for transportation to my Airbnb. I was secretly hoping they would let the first transaction through.  I went to the ATM and DENIED. Luckily, I had $30 left over euros from my last trip. The taxi ride was $25! Praise the lord. I still had to sit in my Airbnb for 2 hours until the banked opened up so I could stay playing. My husband kept me entertained for the majority of the time so that was a plus. He helped fix my GPS problem on my phone. I am very directionally challenged and didn’t know what I was gonna do if it did not work.

With all my problems fixed my first stop was to the grocery store.  I stocked up on $21 euros($26 US darn exchange rate) worth of goods.  My plan for saving money is to eat the majority of my meals at home. This also helps when you get up super early to go shooting.  
After stocking the fridge I went out scouting around the town.  I picked a Airbnb that was super close to everything. Nothing was more than 20 minutes away. January is a fantastic time to go to Seville. The weather is a high of mid 60s. Perfect. It does not seem touristy at all.  I had a pleasant time just roaming around. I got to sit and enjoy local singers as there are plenty of benches everywhere. I felt totally safe and totally loved the atmosphere.

These shots were taken with my Samsung phone.  So they may not be the sharpest, but I was just strolling around town.  No fancy camera.  Just enjoying the sunset.  ​I went back to my place to try and catch some sleep as it had been like 24 hours since that happened. The next day I planned on getting up super early to get some good clean shots. Hope you enjoyed my first day journeys.  Until next time.
