FRIDAY!!!
we had to meet of 630 am. WOAHHO! and we ride the bus to the airport. which i fall asleep. then we get to the airport and wait for the airplane. which i fall asleep. and then take a flight on the airplane. and guess waht... i fall asleep there!! hahah then we are in SEVILLE!! whenever we arrived it was so strange becasue it looked like driving into Houston or something! then we get to Hotel Don Paco and drop off our and then go explore these BEAUTIFUL gardens in the royal palace which were amazing!!! its called the Alcazar!!! then we go eat at this restauraunt where we meet someone that goes to the Tech Campus in Seville! Crazy eh? Then we go explore the Catedral de Santa María de la Sede! it is one of the biggest in the world and is SO INCREDIBLE! oh did i mention that CRISTOBAL COLOM is buried there!? well supposedly ;) and we also climb the Giralda tower adn you can see the WHOLE city!! and after that we go home and go to dinner at this nice resteraunt and then walk around the town for about 2 hours and it was great fun!
SATURDAY!!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!
first off, seville is hot!!! which i am so jealous of because i am tired of the coldness hurr!
wake up early to eat breakfast and then go on a BIKE tour aroudn the city which was incredible! my bottom still hurts from the ride but it was totally worth it because it was so so fun! we saw some awesome stuff like the Torre del Oro, University of Seville, Plaze de Espana, and the Parque Maria Luisa gardens! we ended up going to this AWESOME cuban resteraunt afterward and had ropa vieja, tostones, corrquetas, and picadillo! delish! we went to church afterwards for the 5 pm mass which was incredible! it was in this place called the Royal Chapel that no one is allowed to go into, except for mass... an American Priest was there and had a group of his parishineers with him! it was insane and someone was from Alexandria, LA which is where Frans is from... not to mention that some of the Americans knew the family of one of the girls that came to mass!! afterwards we went and hung out in the plaza and all of a sudden this white rolls royce pulls up and the most beautiful bride i ahve ever seen gets out! then she walks into this gorgous church and so obviously, we go and crash the wedding for a little while and then decide its time to leave! it was awesome though! that night we go eat at this little resteraunt and go to a real authentic Flamenco bar to watch FLAMENCO! and oh my oh my it was incredible! there were probaly about 200 people jam packed into the Bar and every was so entralled! first this guy starts playing the spanish guitar and then there is another guy taht is keeping the beat clapping and with his feet and starts singing like an Arabic person but its in Spanish, so they do that for a little while and then a woman beginnings dancing and it is so hynotising and her dress is so so so incredible! she does 2 more dances and it was just so much fun! definitly something i will never forget! later that night i was so happy that i was able to talk to Frans on valentines day so that was great!
SUNDAY!!!
we woke up early again and went to a convent which was incredible! it was super thrilling but it was really nice to go. there was a nun that was about 100 years old and then there was another who had chubby cheeks and a smile that never left her face! i ended up buy some homemade dark choclate which was beyond amazing!! after that we went to El Rinconcillo which was founded in 1670 (older than the USA!!!) and it is a tapas bar! we ate there and it was so yummy! it was my first time eating tapas, which isnt' a type of food, just name for a style of eating food where the portions are like little appitizers! it was perfect! after we walked down to the Maestranza de Caballeria! which is the bull fighting ring. it was really neat to walk around and see it, though i dont think i could ever actually go see a bull fight in real life! after wards we flew home and it is nice to be home! as always!!
