Seville, Spain

I flew to Seville from Amsterdam on Christmas Eve 2000. I didn't choose Seville for any real reason that I know of. I chose the date because I got a cheap flight.

I stayed for a few weeks in a "hostal," an ancient house down a narrow walkway just within the ancient city center.

After having looked around for an apartment, and having found none, I decided to leave town. I passed by my favorite café to say goodbye.

While I was there, a guy came in to ask if he could post a flyer advertising rooms. The owner of the café pointed him toward me, and I got an apartment. I lived there until June.
