This is the Torre de Oro, or tower of Gold, on the river. I have to walk across this bridge every day to get to school. It's about a 20 minute walk to school, so no more getting up 10 minutes before class:( There is construction all over Sevilla because they are putting in a subway system, which they've been working on for a year and a half, which goes to show that construction is the same all around the world. It sucks and takes forever.
The "bar" we went to our first night of hanging out. By the way, they call any restaurant or bar 'bar' so that's why there are bars everywhere. These are kids from my group, and one guy from costa rica who we met here in sevilla. The guy in the front left is my roommate Jason.
These next pictures are from our walking tour. This is the Portugal consulate I think. Lets be honest I was talking the whole tour and didn't really hear much.
this is la Universidad de Sevilla (University of Sevilla for those of you who don't habla espanol...and are retarded and couldnt figure that out anyway...) It is the fourth largest building in Europe=frickin huge.
ya so funny story about this statue, our guides were like, anyone know anything about this man, and one kid was like "ya he fought a lot and the king didn't like him much."...wow, ya think that up all by yourself? I have no clue who he was but I coulda just randomly guessed that one.
Our guides, David and Leslie. They work with the school, and are cool
Adam and I with our random chinese friend. He ran up and got a picture with our huge group throwing up a peace sign while we were doing our big group pictures, so we ran after him and got a picture too.
Group picture: Adam and Tyler and I are in the front left, being silly.
And this is the Cathedral. Incredible sight. I look forward to going there on a Sunday to a mass just for the incredible experience. Sadly the other side is being worked on. More ugly construction. Well that's all I have time for now. I'll put up pictures of the casa next time. But there won't be many of those, cause it's a little casa:) Oh if you want to get a hold of me you can call me. We have cell phones from here in Spain.
Call 011 to get out of the US, then hit 34 for Spain's country code, then my number is 677-768-470. weird to have a 9 digit number. anyway, use a calling card or something, but it actually doesn't cost me anything to receive calls. So call me! I am 7 hours ahead of you guys, so only call between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm Topeka/Arkansas time, so between 2 and midnight my time. hasta pronto
