Day 500 - 6th August 2008

What better place to celebrate this five-hundredth picture landmark than in Seville.

Having got up very early this morning, due mainly to the heat, I decided to jump straight to it and hit the streets before sunrise. I wandered around, visited things, and made in the end a solid nine-hour walk. Now, having counted the blisters on my feet, I seem to have nine of those too.

It was, however, a great day - from morning to night time. If I went through everything I did, and told of everywhere I went and everyone I saw, the night would drag on and we'd never get to bed.

Maybe tomorrow, when there's another long but luxurious train ride ahead, I'll reflect on what I've done and write more here.

At the moment, it's hot, very sweaty and I'm still getting over the fact that I have done this, this very act that I'm doing right now, five hundred times. It feels like time hasn't changed much since the start, but looking back, I am wrong. Times have changed since then, and they have changed for good.
