Sunday October 4, 2014

We were up early and tried not to disturb our room mates in the hostel as we carried our panniers downstairs and loaded our bikes. We were on the road by 8:30 am. We passed an empty Cathedral square and Ralf got this lovely photo of the Cathedral.

JP2 is in the square as well, and I liked him as a pope.

As we made our way out of Seville on their excellent cycle routes we noticed a tremendous amount of women dressed in pink and heading towards the Plaza d’Espana. It dawned on me that this Sunday is the first week-end in October and the week-end for the Run for the Cure (breast cancer) in Barrie and obviously around the world.

We went to check out the start and the highest number that had registered was in the 9,000 range. Well done Seville over 9,000 women running for the cure. I asked a group of Spanish ladies if I could take their photos, but I wanted a picture of the slogan on the back of their shirts first.

It was quite funny trying to explain to them that I did this in Canada every year with a group of ladies. “Oh Canada” was the response.

Deb and the rest of the Curling Connection group I hope you had a good run and raised lots of money again. – Miss you.

We carried on heading out of Seville on the cycle lanes, as soon as we hit the “border” of Seville the bike lanes stopped.

Today was a flat ride through rural farmlands and cotton fields as far as the eye could see.

We arrived in Las Cabezas and once again could not find a campsite, we found a small hotel which was quite expensive. We have to stop this, it is getting too expensive, but it is difficult for us find any enthusiasm to wild camp. Our version of wild camping is cooking in a hotel room.
