Pictures! the cathedral, the cathedral ceiling, the main altar in the cathedral, the climb, and a view from the top!
Ok. SO SORRY...i am way behind here. haha oops. Like I said before, Spain is a blur and time just slips right through your fingers, and before you know it, you are a week and a half behind on your blog. how does it happen??? oh well.
Soo. I am going to start back where i can remember...Ok two wednesdays ago (not yesterday, but the one before) we went to Cien (1oo) Montaditos....the coolest little restaurant ever. And Wednesdays are everything for 1 euro! it is awesome. they have a million little sandwhiches and drinks and its amaaaazing. SO FUN. We met new people, and bonded and had a grand old time.
Friday we went on the trip with school to the Roman Ruins of Italica (not in Italy, but in Spain..20 minutes from Seville...leftovers of Roman occupation a million years ago). It was pretty awesome...not going to lie. It was a beautiful day after rain the one before, and we had a fun tour guide and, you know me, I love ruins. haha. It was really fun.
The remainder of the weekend was spent mostly doing homework, but Saturday night we went to see The Princess and the Frog (new favorite movie) in SPANISH! Fortunately I could follow along because I saw in in english over Christmas with Dane's family. But it was still really great in Spanish...quite an experience. And, Sunday morning, Lisa and I ventured out to the Mercadillo in Montequinto (just to clarify because there is one in Sevilla too) before church. The mercadillo was really fun, like a flea market, but everything is new! its awesome...and Very cheap. haha. they have everything you could ever want there: fresh produce, underwear, clothes, jewelry, candy, shoes...its amazing. I bought red boots for 5 euro and a chunky sweater for 8 :-) its awesome. Then we went to sunday school at Lisa's church...such an experience! it was great though...pretty different, yet the same. it was nice.
Tuesday this week we packed a lunch and headed out straight from school into the city center to go on our tour of the Cathedral. A-MAZ-ING. it is incredible there! SO HUGE! ginormous! Truly awe inspiring...i cant even describe it well enough to try. Christopher Columbus is (allegedly) buried there! Wow. After the self-guided tour (spent mostly with our mouths open) we climbed the Giralda. The Giralda is a huge tower that you climb up (yes climb - 32 stories or something like that) But the views are incredible! the best in the whole city they say. This whole trip was free for us because we are UPO students...how awesome. After that, Lisa and I headed to Starbucks to meet with our bible study group. Also really great; it was nice to be with others in the same boat as us and in the Word.
Last night (Wednesday) we returned to 100 Montaditos for more fun. And Mary, Arianna, and I purchased tickets to Ireland for the last weekend of this month! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO holleration. SO PUMPED. This weekend we are going to Cadiz for Carnival (big festival/costume party) and it is going to be a blast! Time is continuing to fly...but I am loving every second here! Cannot believe I am so blessed. finances are a little tight due to the school screwing me over a bit, but God will provide...and prayers would be appreciated (so that my funds can last!) Anyway, I love you all, and miss everyone tons.
