mom and Dana visit!

Last week I was lucky enough to have my mommy and Dana visit me! My mom arrived Sunday morning (and I proceeded to abandon her at the airport for an hour...oops!) and Dana came in on Wednesday. I tried my best to show them my favorite parts of Madrid. We visited the museum trio, walked through Retiro park, wandered through all the major Plazas, breakfasted daily at Cafe Comercial, and took some siestas. On Thursday we took a train to Sevilla so I could continue my love-affair with the southern city. We climbed the Giralda, tiptoed through the Cathedral, frolicked in the Alcazar, watched flamenco at La Carboneria, and zig-ziggy-ando-ed our way through the streets, total Ray Green style. Now for the important part: photos. Out of order because I'm too lazy to rearrange.

unfortunately it wasn't big enough for Dana's holey leather pouch...she ended up buying a crystal instead. and i got a Moroccan leather bag for two euro!

our families got to meet for about ten minutes in Sevilla! a true hermana reunion.

omg Miley! (aka me in the Giralda)

probably one of the best photos of the trip.
also important to note that i literally pushed my mom up half of the ramps

ceramics in Triana
I bought two pretty bowls and a little bunny tile...the bowls fell on my head while I was in my closet and broke. go me!!
