Darlene and I have spent a couple of lovely days in Seville. I am learning about Spanish history—which is pretty bloody over all, but also has produced some incredible art and architecture.

Having the Internet is a bit like cheating, but I am beginning to let go of other commitments for a bit and just take each day in stride.
