A Week in Sevilla.

Just wanted to update and say hello.  I have my first composition due tomorrow so this is of course another form of procrastination.  (FYI: I wrote my last post and put up pictures from Paris as a procrastination from studying for my first exam).  I think the exam went well but I haven't received the grade so I'm not exactly positive. 

So Sevilla is really starting to feel like home.  I noticed it when I was really anxious to return after Paris.  I was waiting for the bus from the airport and all I could think about was getting home and unpacking.  I finally arrived home and I was walking through la plaza de Alameda de Hercules (a very cute plaza right next to my street)- it was a beautiful Sunday afternoon.  It was so warm and sunny and everyone was outside, eating tapas with their friends and family- it was just like "wow, I'm so glad to be home." It felt really nice to be home.  

I made Stephanie (my roommate) go get some food with me and we went to get tapas at this great little place in the plaza called Las Columnas.  We couldn't decide what to get so we asked the people next to us what they ordered cause it looked good.  We ordered la ensalada con mariscos y menudo.  We ate them both but could not decide what was in menudo- so we asked.  The couple next to us laughs and asks us if we REALLY want to know.  Apparently, we had just had "estómago de vaca" translated into cow stomach.  hhahaha- I mean, it was good. Actually scratch that, the sauce it was in was very, very good but I could have done with out the meat.  At least now I can say I tried it!  Look at me,  becoming a adventurous eater. Next up, oranges. haha yeahhhh right.  

Okay, well I'm gonna go edit this paper- I had to interview Carmen (my señora) about her life and her views on Americans.  It came out pretty well.  Well goodbye for now.
