Alcázar of Seville with Ingy

Today Ingy and I went to the Alcázar of Seville. The Alcázar is a royal palace in Sevilla, which was originally a moorish fort. I have been here a few times before but never have seen as much as I have until this trip. There was an entire section inside that I had neglected to see the past few times I went. We spent some time walking around inside and looking at all the rooms. They also had an exposition on different types of ceramic that was made in Sevilla or used in the city dating back to the 11th century. It was a nice clear day and we spent some time out in the gardens, but it was cold.

We spent quite a bit of time walking around the Gardens of the Alcázar. I can't describe how big this place is. It seemed to go on forever. Courtyards, Labyrinths, gardens, towers, ponds, etc. So much is fit within the walls of the garden. We got bored and spent some time in the labyrinth. Definitely a lot of fun.

We went out that night for my friend Cherelle's birthday. She was heading back to the States for the break the next day. We hung out at a friends house for a while and then went to the bars until 4 am. We all took a taxi back to our places and called it a night.. morning.
