Seville Day 1

What a day! I finally made it to Seville yesterday evening at about 7. It was a nerve racking experience, but fun figuring out things and attempting to communicate in Spanish. The last leg of my travels involved me trying to get to the hotel, and being told by the attendant in the train station that it would be a short walk. Well, nobody tomd me that there are no street signs...so after walking 15 minutes in what I later figured to be the wrong direction, I got a cab and got to the hotel. And I had my line ready to tell the hotel attendant: "Mi hermano esta aqui ahora.", but Raymond and Carson were sitting in the lobby waiting on me.

So, we hung out at the hotel for just a bit, then set out to walk around the city. We had dinner, found a scenic site to hang out (I'm still not sure what it was called), and then met up with several other English speaking students that we happened to cross in the street. After 24 hours of not hearing anyone talk english other than Raymond and Carson, it was refreshing to be able to understand a conversation. And afterward, I think I was energized to be able to talk spanish as best I could.

It was a great first night,a nd I'm excited about the rest of the trip
