I am horrible at keeping this thing updated. I wish I could mentally record all my thoughts and invent some machine that will automatically write on this blog and update.
So this week was interesting. I went out 3/5 nights. Made it to class 5/5 days. Made it to 1/2 tours. My ipod headphones died on the way to class on the morning that I was horribly hungover - how convenient. A different morning I almost slipped and fell on the SAME wet street 6 times going to class. I almost got ran over by a moped another morning. So many interesting things....
This weekend I went to Seville and Cordoba. SO MUCH FUN but so much walking. I saw so many interesting things. Saturday we had to be at the bus stop at 7:30 am for a 3 hours bus ride- not fun. However, it was so worth it. We went and visited the Royal Chapel and after we had a free afternoon. Well, wouldn't you know that in Seville there was a International Beer Festival going on? My friends and I drank for about 3 hours. After 2 beers, 2 bottles of wine, and who knows how many shots I was feeling way too good. I danced with some Spanish guys. They taught me how to "flamenco" - well at least tried to teach me. Let's just say the bus ride to Cordoba was not a fun one.
Last night in Cordoba we had an amazing tapas dinner. It was SO MUCH food - perfect to cure a day-drinking hangover. Today we were able to sleep in and walk around and tour the city. We went to the Mosque of Cordoba. (http://witcombe.sbc.edu/sacredplaces/cordoba.html) It was AMAZING. One of my favorite things so far. Then we went through this old Jewish district and visited a Jewish Mosque. Up until all these informational visits I never realized how much of a Muslim influence there is in the history of Spain.
Apparently on Thursday there will be 2 girls from France coming to stay for 5 days here. I'm kinda nervous/excited to meet them. I am so tired. I need to eat, shower, and sleep. I have another interesting week in Spain ahead of me.
