Sevilla.

Near the end of our trip, we were starting to tire of running from monument to museum every day. We decided to take it easy in this prettily packaged city, where every menu has a version in English and the waiters remind you that the tip is not included in the price of the meal (tipping is not customary in Spain, and if you ask any Spaniard they’ll generally tell you that they never leave a tip). We saw the major sites of the city, like the cathedral and the Alcazar. We enjoyed seeing the tomb of Cristobal Colón, where we heard rumors that no one is sure if it really is his remains, although everyone is sure the remains are from Cuba where Colón died. We also heard that all that remains of him in the tomb is his scrotum.

Finally, we found a bookstore that sold English language books, bought two, and sat by the river for an afternoon of relaxing.

Large versions of the photos are available here.

Views of the cathedral, from the cathedral, and inside the cathedral. The statues are part of the alleged tomb of Cristobal Colón, housed inside the cathedral. The tower is part of an older muslim tower that they incorporated into the cathedral.

Note from Warren: after further reading about the tomb we found out that it's not a complete corpse...but rather just the scrotum of Colón.
