Flamenco!

Our trip to Sevilla (Seville.. same thing) was just peachy! Our bus there took about 3 hours but the scene along the way is so beautiful with the mountains I didn't mind. Megan threw up on the way there haha buuut other than that all went well. Our hostal was great! It had computers we could use for free, a great terrace on the roof, an open kitchen (although no free breakfast) and the room had its own bathroom. The staff was super nice and it was clean. I bought some cereal before we came and got milk while we were there and enjoyed some cereal for breakfast!

We went to see the Alcazar and got in for free because of our student card which was sweeeet. It looked a lot like the Alhambra because it was built in the Moorish style. It would have been cool to have known more history about it but it was still really interesting and I plan on reading up about it.
We wanted to go see a flamenco show that night but it was sold out so we bought tickets for Saturday night. Instead we walked around this "gypsie" village although I think it was too late because there was like no one around. We were looking for somewhere to eat and were starving and so when we saw McDonalds we went with it although it was right next to a place I'd heard of with good deals and a vegetarian menu. And next to pans & co which has alright sandwiches. When we found that out I was so mad we went to McDs. Ugh. But I had a salad.
Saturday we went to see the Plaza de Espana which was my favorite part. The downer was that there was construction going on so some of the cities were blocked off. It has little sections for each city along the walls, bridges, and a big building. All very beautiful. After that we went to the cathedral that supposedly had a small piece from the real cross. It was huge and we went up the tower too. We went back to the hostal to get ready and ate before going to the show. The food was delicious - I got 2 tapas, one was a spinach umm.. I forget the name but it's like blended together and breaded/fried and a small salad.. and also some couscous. The flamenco show was sweet! It was small and only an hour but still very enjoyable! The guitar player was really good. I could've done without the singer.. he was kinda annoying but the girl who danced was very serious and the guy seemed to be having more fun. They both moved their feet so fast though.
Today we didn't really have anything to do so we just walked around and sat by the river to eat lunch and lay around in the sun for a few hours. Both mornings, I woke up at like 8:30 and got ready, ate breakfast, and hung out on the terrace before the other girls finally got up around 10:30. Haha. But it was enjoyable.

We got back right at 8:30, mamacita made us dinner (which I happily ate all of!), I took a shower, then came here to skype. But the connection wasn't that great, the TV was loud, and I felt bad for having to talk so loud. So from now on, I'll still use the internet cafe until we get our own internet which will hopefully be soon.

Still excited for Morocco next weekend! And for Semana Santa when my sister comes!! It's going to be SO nice to have that piece of home with me in the middle of my stay here. :)
