Narrow streets and cheeseburgers

Dave and I did a little sightseeing today.  The center of town is truly a maze, and it's fun to walk around and get lost.  There are intersections everywhere and the names of the streets change every block.

On one of the spacious sidewalks, trying not to get hit by side mirrors.

 Narrow streets.

 Roman columns in the city center.

 A common theme in Sevilla.  I gotta get one of these for our room.

Plaza de Encarnacion.  There's a farmers market under there!

After taking in some of the antiquities of the city, we decided to stop in the Plaza de Armas for lunch.  We tried out Fosters Hollywood, the "American" restaurant in Sevilla.  After looking at the menu we were a bit skeptical about the quality of the food.  The menu was TGI Friday-esque with photos of the food including a particularly worrisome glamour shot of the quesadillas.  We ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries to split with high hopes.  OMG!  The deliciousness and juiciness of the burger was more than I could handle.  Heinz ketchup, Gulden spicy mustard, fresh lettuce, tomato, and the meat... fantastico!  I was so giddy the whole bus ride home.  I had a post-cheeseburger euphoria one could only experience after living outside the US for a month.  Quite a surprise.  We didn't think they could pull it off.
