Cadiz and other stuff

Saturday

                I finally got around to visiting the Archeological Museum in Sevilla which was full of statues from bygone eras, that were neat but it seemed to take forever to get through all of the rooms. At least I can now check another museum off my list of things still to see. Then we decided to go to Cadiz on Sunday so we bought our bus tickets for there and back for 20.75€; which doesn’t seem like a terrible price for a day at the ocean. It was very nice day for walking around and enjoying the sights on a busy Saturday, and we certainly spent a good portion of time doing just that. We went to a 6pm Mass in a little church that had a choir of nuns, which was a pleasant change after normally going to Masses that don’t have any music.

Sunday

                It was lovely weather for the trip to Cadiz and perfect for relaxing on the beach. The bus ride was a little stressful though because right as our trip was beginning a spider crawled out on the seat in front of us and brave Paige flicked it away, but I was a little on edge for the rest of the journey, because where there is one, there are sure to be more. Darn old spiders. Anyway, once in Cadiz we walked to the Cathedral and climbed to the top of one of its spires in order to get a great view of the city and ocean. Then we went to our favorite Montaditos for lunch because there just happened to be one right next door to the Cathedral. Finally, we made it to the beach itself and spent an enjoyable couple hours napping in the sun. I brought sunscreen fortunately, but I still think I got burned a little. When it came time to say goodbye to the ocean, we took a few last parting photos because you can’t find a better background than sparkling waves. To motivate us for the bus ride back we went in search of an ice cream shop, but none were to be found. I would have thought there would be a ton of ice cream places in a beach city like Cadiz, but at least in the area we searched they were seemingly nonexistent. However, right before we were about to give up all hope of ice cream, we came across Burger King, and so ended up getting a chocolate cake fusion to end our day. Overall it was a very pleasant weekend, but as always it went too fast for my liking.
