Last night we stopped at a little convenience store to buy a few things and ended talking with the owners, Puri and Felipe. Very nice couple, they wanted to know about our pilgrimage. When we went by the store this morning, on our way to breakfast, Puri came out to talk to us. Felipe works for the department of tourism of Andalusia and he got presents for us. An Andalusia T-shirt for me and a fan for Brenda. That was a surprise and a very good detail. Spanish people are so nice.
After breakfast we walked a couple of kilometres to a laundromat. We have enough clothes now that we can wash every other day.
When we finished we were right on time for Mass at the basilica of the Macarena. The image of Our Lady of Hope Macarena is very well known and a favourite of Sevilla. After mass we had also an opportunity to pray the rosary in front of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
By then we were hungry and there just happen to be a Chinese restaurant nearby so hard to believe but we had a Chinese lunch in Sevilla.
We went back to the hotel, had a rest and we spent the afternoon with a very satisfying 10 km walk around the river. Very nice views of the river and the city. We also found some beautiful gardens, walked by a market and ended in a pedestrian street full of restaurants and bars. We finished the day with a salad and a sangria. Then a walk back to the hotel.
Today we pray to Our Lady Macarena and we say hail Mary full of grace protect us and help us get home safely.
