Second Day In Seville 2

We had a nice rest and then went out into the heat to find Risko. The tourist information person told us it was too far to walk and to take bus 21, but it didn't look too far to us. So we walked. We made it to Kansas City street and then went the wrong way for a while on another street. I looked at the bus map and saw the street it was on. I remembered it when we looked it up because it sounded like Battlestar Galactica. So then I kept thinking Battlestar Galactica street. We asked a couple of people along the way and finally found it. It was very small--almost no inventory. Too bad. We walked all that way and they didn't have much. We went into the local El Corte Inglés and they didn't have much either. We found a little store on the way home that had a bag I wanted, though.

Then we went to find the internet place but they close at 8 and not at 9 like we thought. So we went to C&A where Elena had found a cute pair of capris. We went in and she found them and tried them on. To small so she got the next size up. As we were walking to the chagning rooms, I noticed there was an arc of 3 very bored looking waiting men standing by the changing rooms. I couldn't help but smile as I made it an arc of 4.
Then we went to a place with a €9 tapas sampler, but they end that special at 7 and it was 8 now. Then we went looking for other tapas. Elena said there were places where you can go from place to place and get little €2 and €3 dishes and then go to the next one, but it didn't seem to work that way. All the places had full and half raciónes but nothing in the €3 range. So we just chose one and had a €9 1 liter jarre of sangria and 4 tapas dishes for €12 and a chicken a la Seville (mushrooms, red pepper, and slices of potato) for €9,50. It was pretty good, but the 4 tapas were overpriced. Theoretically they are €3 each and they were 1) 5 squid rings in potato chips, 2) chucks of fish in a tomato sauce, 3) two slices of sausage and a slice of cheese in a mix of hard bread thingies, and 4) a sort of potato quiche with some pickled sweet peppers.
