España: first 3 days

Today is my third day in Spain, but I feel like its already been forever! I just arrived at my host family's home. My Señora is cooking lunch right now and it smells amazing!! After some detective work I figured out what the internet password was, she didn't know :p

Last night we saw a Flamenco show and it was amazing. I had no idea Flamenco involved so much tap. They were very talented and the guitar was beautiful. But it was also about 100 degrees in the room and despite the fact that we were sitting directly in front of the fan, the heat and the guitar was putting me to sleep :p

Today we woke up and checked out of the hotel, then went on a walking tour with Dani. We saw lots of beautiful places. Everything in Seville is simply 10 times more beautiful than in Seattle :p These were some of my favorites.

Plaza De España
Dani told us that a scene of Star Wars was filmed here lol

El Catedral - This felt like being inside of my Art History book

All the streets in Seville look like this. Can you imagine waking up every day and calling this home?

I can't remember the name of this building, but it was very beautiful. I wish we could have gone inside
Everything is going well so far, the only thing I'm struggling with is the lack of snacks. In spain, its typical to eat a small breakfast, lunch around 3 and dinner around 10. This is very strange for me, but I'm getting used to it. Tapas last night were so delicious. I had a Spanish potato omelette and then bread with some kind of sauce and ham. Then we ordered cake slices for dessert, of course.

Tonight we meet the other kids from session 2, I'm very excited. I love my small group of 7, but it well be fun to meet some new people.

Spain is everything I dreamed of, but I do miss everyone from home. There were a few rain drops today which reminded me to soak up all this amazing culture and warm weather as much as I can :) Jerez this weekend!!
