We left Sevilla yesterday, but not after a little scare. In the morning I walked over to the indoor parking garage to get our car. I took the elevator to level 4 where we parked.

Today we drove an hour and a half to Cadiz, a small island south of Sevilla. It is considered the oldest city in Europe.
