It feels great to get out of the city. While I love taking in the sights and eating diverse foods only found in populated cities, these trips where I’m out in nature and going at a different pace really feels rejuvenating. The plan today was to run to the grocery store to get some fresh bread and anything else that we felt were missed during our Costco run.

Joanna got about 2.5 hours of sleep last night after packing her bags and then waking up at 3am to catch an uber to the airport. I walked her downstairs to get this pic for the blog…I mean say goodbye to my wonderful wife who is cool with letting me stay in Spain for a week while I run around with my friends. 18 hours later she texts me that she’s back safe at home in our bed.

Because we didn’t have Portugal as part of this trip. I wanted…no, I needed to have a traditional Portuguese egg tart while I was in Spain. I grew up eating the egg custard tart at dim sum and I’ve had the egg tarts in Macau which are slightly different which are the ones I prefer. I wanted to know how the original ones tasted.

When we arrived into Sevilla yesterday I started doing my research on the things to see and do in this city. I quickly found out that one of the main attractions called the Alcazar was a filming location for Dorne in Game of Thrones. I think I overestimated my ability to handle the heat and got ahead of myself to book tickets to visit this royal palace knowing that the only available time was at the peak temp of the day.

As we were walking along one of the main shopping streets in Granada on Reyes Católicos, I walked past a store that made me do a double take. There was a stack of iberico ham sandwiches with cheese. I told myself this would be my train snack as we headed to Sevilla.
