Just got back tonight from an AMAZING trip to Toledo, Cordoba, Sevilla, and lastly Grenada.
Toledo
taking a well deserved siesta
Sevilla (mi favorita)/ Cordoba
best sangria with the most delicious tapas
almost...
so close....
yay!
my future home
the girls
I am so in love with Sevilla
thought my mom would love these ceilings...taking note for my future home
oh Sevilla...stop being so darn beautiful
120 grams of Christopher Columbus!
sorry...I just can NOT get enough of this
Grenada
not a happy camper after an 8 hour bus ride (raining/cold)
Famous windmills from "donkey hole"???
As you can tell, I had one amazing weekend!
New updates:
1. Don't just assume the salmon is cooked when it says salad with salmon because it is NOT cooked
2. Don't order tomato salad thinking lettuce or any other toppings will be included...
3. Always be prepared for professor to drop you off in random city and find the hotel by yourself
4. Never ever make the okay sign with your hand in Spain
5. Spain has the BEST shopping ever
6. Jesus spoke in the vosotros form in the Bible
7. Sevilla is the ONLY place with Christopher Columbus' ashes...I was so excited
8. Always be prepared for another blister everyday
9. Paris Hilton is in Madrid right now
Number 5 is obviously my favorite. Erin Anderson and I quickly found out the best places to shop in Sevilla (aka Uterque).
And let me explain #4.
So my Professor, Dr. Larson, has a very interesting/strange sense of humor. He likes to do a little game watching his little chickens run with their heads cut off...I don't know if that makes any sense but whatever. That fantastic analogy meant that he just drops us off in the middle of a new city and expects us to get back to the hotel we are staying at.
Point #1. The group I was with can not speak Spanish, we speak Spanglish
Point #2. We don't have a map
Point #3. We don't know the name of the street our hotel is on
Point #4. When we finally asked for directions, 10 different people gave us 10 different directions in 10 different languages
As a result, it took us 2 hours to get back to the hotel when we were making circles around the hotel the whole time.

Well I am in need of some shut eye because I have a test early tomorrow morning. Love and miss everyone!
