Went to the "theater" tonight for a magic show. The audience skewed much younger (many under ten in the front rows so they could see the show without tall people in front of them.) The magician was funny and his sleight of hand was very good. We got a lot of good laughs and some impressively executed tricks from a standard repertoire. Rings, cards, scarves, ropes etc.Turned out to be a fun ninety+ minutes. The photos are things seen along the way - starting with the carrousel in the Plaza Magdalena just four minutes from our house.
One of our closest plazas now in holiday market mode. It is somewhat disconcerting to see oranges ripening on the trees when the chestnuts are roasting in the plazas.
And we thought off-Loop theaters in Chicago ran on shoe strings. I think this one rents from the pigeons in the attic #uprootedtheaterSevilla
The magician was funny. His sleight of hand was well done and he worked well with the younger audience (it was billed as a family performance.)
above - poor Bethany... the person volunteered by her friends and children to be the one to perform with the magician LOL.
After the magic show we stopped for dinner at a place that had always looked too touristy to us. However we once had an excellent meal at its "sister" restaurant CUNA2 while here for language immersion, so we took a chance. The food was really great. So great we plan to return. Phil had the pork cheeks and langoustinos in garlic oil and foie to start. I had a salad and then calamari. No dessert as we were full. Then we walked home through the city - which is fully in holiday lights mode!
The lights are everywhere in the city center- these were just some from the walk home...
The next night - Monday - we went to La Brunilda and ordered way too much food- guess we were missing Spanish food after a week in Paris LOL (not!) Oops missed the arroz con pato - the last course... Oh well. I'm sure there are other photos from a prior visit to La Brunilda. Standard ordering of queso costeño and tacos then went off pattern to get the ensaladilla and the chiparon and buñelos de bacalao. Phil finished with the arroz which is in his rotation.
Tuesdays are eat at home nights - I cook while Phil is in his 8-9:30 class and we eat afterward... tonight a new recipe for baked parmesan chicken - we'll see....LOL - later in the week we have Augurio and then to a new place to try YO. a little leery of this one as it is a replacement for a place we went in our first month during language immersion and found very disappointing. But Michelin just recognized it so we will give it a chance.... so more to follow.
