Me encanta Sevilla!

La ciudad es bonita. The city is beautiful! I love it!! So yesterday I went out for brunch with William and Mary kids and met some of the people in charge of UPO. And amazingly I found a girl that went to my high school. Funnnyy! I love everyone of the teachers and advisors, Yaye, Antonio, Ana y Stefe. So its normal to call professors by their first names here, que raro! Then we saw Reales Alcazares, which is a humongous castle with architecture that is arabic, roman and catholic. Then we came back for lunch and even our hermano Sergio can cook! It was huevos con salsa y papas. Then Antonio led us all around Sevilla, and we can pretty much walk around the whoooole city in 30 minutes.
Today we woke up really early to see the santa cruz neighborhood and un grande catedral! Heather and I learned how to make spanish coffee last night and got to make it this morning! (Father I am totally bringing some back it is sooo good) Then we proceeded to walk, it is quite cold today ): But the Catedral was gorgeous, the third largest christian church in the world. We climbed 35 ramps to the top, hay mucho!!! Now I am back for a siesta and lunch, which was lentils and papas muy delicioso.
Hasta luego!!
Brunch!




Muchas naranjas

We climbed to the top of the Giralda

I'm like weirdly obsessed with your life right now. Also I meant to look this up in my research but do you know why there are so many orange trees in sevilla? Also, did you go in el patio de los narajanos in the cathedral? AH SO GREAT! :) te echo de menos! (vocab from translation hahahah)
