EXCERPT FROM SARA’S JOURNALMay 24, 1999
Calle Conde de Barajas, Seville
Hot and Sweaty
Jane and Lindsay lay brown and wet with pools and rivers on the terrace
above our heads. There’s no beach in Seville, but they’re delighted to sunbathe
in the sweltering heat, beneath the laundry lines and the television antennae.
Lindsay especially loves it. She tells me about Thailand and constant
dribble of sweat from her chin. She hiked in 40 degrees Celsius and 100% humidity.
Seville is a dry heat, and keeps me indoors for most of the day. Jane
and Lindsay do one last load of laundry and head off to the bus station. They’ll
catch the 4 o’clock to Lagos and dip their toes in Southern Portugal’s desert on
the sea, the Algarve.
