I arrived with the australian guys at 10:30ish in the morning and it was already 40 degrees (What is that in Farenheit, *1/8 *32, so basically 100 degrees. We checked into our hotel (no a.c.) and decided to see as many sights as we could.
I can�t really remember anything, since I was literally in a daze walking around in the heat. The strange thing about Spain is that it gets hotter as the day goes on, even after midday. It doesn�t peak at noon, but seems to creep up in temperature until about 6. I think 4-5 is probably the hottest time in Spain.
I drank 2 1.5 liter bottles of water that afternoon and still didn�t have to go to the bathroom since I was sweating so much.
The only monument that we saw that I remember is the Sevilla Cathedral (which is good, since this is the major monument in Sevilla). It�s one of the biggest cathedrals in the world. Alledgedly when it was rebuilt (previously was muslim), church authorities said that they wanted to "create a building such that future generations will take us for lunatics.� Gotta like that.
The church was definitely the biggest I�ve ever seen. It had great views of Sevilla from the tower and notably has the tomb of Christopher Columbus, so that was pretty cool to see.
Like I said, I really forgot what else I saw that day. It was so miserable. The temperature creeped up throughout the day until it peaked out at I think 48 degrees (120ish F).
After that day, I told the guys I wasn�t staying another day and was leaving the next morning. They all wanted to stay another day and see some more sights. I just could not handle the heat.
Sad to leave such good travelling companions, but giddy to leave the horrid weather.
Off to Granada.
