Yesterday I enjoyed a leisurely cruise on Sevilla's Rio Guadalquivir. We departed from the Torro de Ore, a moorish tower formerly used to store gold. From here we traveled a short distance in each direction. A recording described famous sites as we passed them, but I was more interested in the quotidian activities of the Sevillans in and around the river.
As we lazily glided up the river, I spotted a group of kayakers that reminded me of a whale pod. On the river banks, Sevillans draped themselves listlessly across blankets and rocks, wilting in the Sevillan heat. Kids jumped off the banks and into the cool river below. A few children even flashed their behinds at us passerbys. Apparently mooning transcends geopolitical divides.
