orange trees everywhere in sevilla... plucked 2 and tasted it... they were very sour but left a fresh tangerine smell on my hands for a good whole day!

Antonio, whom we met in Latvia, was one of the reason why we decided to visit this city. it is also pretty near to morocco where we will be off to next.

missed the sunday bus to paris, therefore, we decided to do barcelona first... and here we are after 18 hours on the bus that cost about 60 over euros per person.

when we alighted the bus, we were like... wow, what a good weather! barcelona was sunny and temperature was at a comfortable 15 degrees. compare to the other west european countries, the weather here is just perfect for us...
