Dearest Nicole and Andre (and Max and Alexandra),
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to experience this beautiful city from the comfort of your delightful flat. It has been a week that will bring us very fond memories in the years to come. How lucky we are to celebrate three generations here!
We have enjoyed every minute but particularly loved shopping at the market and making several meals here “at home” in addition to discovering countless adorable tapas bars (including El Rinconcillo…twice!) with their lively atmosphere and good Spanish food.
Just around the corner, there’s a woodworker whom we befriended—and now we’re bringing back a piece to remind us of this lovely neighborhood. We enjoyed wandering through the narrow streets, attending mass where the two of you married, people-watching in the park and seeing the many beautiful sites that Sevilla offers. We saw an amazing flamenco show…and attempted the dance ourselves as well. :)
We have felt so fortunate to experience Sevilla during such a nice time of the year. The days were warm and sunny and the nights cool and comfortable. Last night we took a late stroll and happened upon a choir already practicing songs for la Navidad. They invited us in for a listen and the music nearly brought us to tears.
A special thank you to Pilar who answered all of our questions and greeted us at the front door that very first night—before we had even rung the doorbell.
Thank you again so very much for making this stay in Sevilla possible. We look forward to seeing you again in Burlington, Frankfurt, Sevilla…or wherever our paths may cross next.
With love and appreciation to your family,
Coleen, Carrie, and Allie
(grandmother, mother, daughter)
