And so our adventures have begun. And already the last words from my first post - plans are made to be changed - have come to pass.
The French and I flew from Paris to Seville on Tuesday morning, to clear blue skies and warm sunshine. And the same again today in Cordoba, where we arrived by train this afternoon. We love both of these towns - where we spent some time in May 2015 - and in these two days, we have loved the ease that familiarity brings as you stroll through the narrow streets and laneways - and the delight of rediscovering and discovering. The colour, the style, the informality, the food and the wine. Everything really!
But not all has been as expected. Last night when I attempted to write my first diary entry I had all sorts of problems with the blogger app, problems that I'd never encountered before and I've been using it since 2011. No problem uploading photos - and hopefully that will continue. But a 'bug' in the app caused my blog to crash without saving any time I tried to edit or correct words already written. Ugghh.
A google search soon identified the problem. The blogger app is no longer supported so there are no more updates or bug fixes. There is a work around solution using a browser for writing and the app for uploading photos - which is how I'm doing this post. But it's time consuming, cumbersome, unfriendly and frustrating - and quickly turns an enjoyable pastime into a chore.
So my plans have changed - at least for my blogs on this trip. I expect I'll keep uploading photos, but most likely with not much of a story. Perhaps I will write my diary separately - offline. And maybe when I get home I'll go back and put the words and pictures together. Though that seems like a daunting project. As The French likes to say, nous verrons ca - we'll see that.
In the meantime, to anyone who has followed my earlier blogs and has enjoyed reading the words - desolee, lo siento, sorry - seems it will be mostly pictures this time. On that note, here are a few from our two first days in Seville and Cordoba including our charrming hotels - Casa del Maestro in Seville and Hotel Mezquita in Cordoba.
Tomorrow, the Camino Mozarabe. Nous marchons. We walk.
Hasta luego.
