On Wednesday, 2020-02-10, for the first time in eons, we took an organized tour after having rolled our own for many years. It was an extremely well-organized, three-day/two-night tour, had all meals included except for lunch on the first and last days and looked like it would be a piece of cake. After all, they picked us up at our condo early Wednesday morning and dropped us back around 7:00 PM Friday evening. The only thing we forgot was that we're a few decades older than we were the last time we took such a tour. By the time we got home on that Friday night we were completely whacked out!

 

 

That first morning we drove to Seville, Spain. On arrival in Seville, we visited the site of the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, a site not unsimilar to the site of Expo67 in Montréal. Together with its selection as the capital of the region of Andalusia, it appears to have ignited the recovery of Seville that, I gather, was languishing prior to that time.

 

The first place we visited was the Plaza Hispanica, the central pavillion of the 1929 exposition. It's a very large, circular pavillion that, even now, is impressive in its size and design.
