At the beginning of our time here, Sofie had to do a little research project for her grammar class. She had to find 6 or 7 Spaniards on the street to interview. So she would go up to random people and get them to take her survey. One of the guys she met was Gerardo. After taking her survey (which asked all about what kinds of drugs he had taken, etc....), they chatted a bit. She found out he is a photographer. He gave her his contact info and said if she ever wanted to hang out, to let him know. So weeks later, when her intercambios from the school weren't working out so well and she wanted to hang out with Spaniards and not just always Americans, she sent him an email. He responded immediately with, hey, lets meet tonight! So I went with her :)

We met him at a little park in town and headed to a bar where he was to take photos for their website. This bar was amazing. Not your typical bar. Lots of religious paraphenelia: statues, photos, etc. Quite a sight.



Then we went to another bar. The bar with supposedly the oldest bar (the actual counter-bar) in Sevilla. Gerardo tried to take a picture there but the barkeep told him that it would be six million Euros for a picture. Since none of us had that in our pockets, no photos.

Then we headed to a bar that is always super crowded. Its a tiny little bar that always has a huge crowd of Spaniards spilling out onto the street. There we met up with his friends Sergio and Carmen who were lots of fun.

Then we went to el Rinconcillo. The oldest bar in Sevilla. Its been open for hundreds of years. Like since 1670. Pretty amazing! Anyway, after a couple beers and a couple glasses of white wine, we were pretty loopy. Gerardo took some photos. Here they are!
