Hola Sevilla! So far I am surviving here in Spain. And i must look like I know what I am doing, because twice people have asked me for directions. I guess my enough to get by Spanish skills are working for me.
Yesterday I took time to explore around and by that I mean I got lost. Really lost. The street signs here are very different then they are back home and can sometimes be hard to find. Therefore, I would walk in what I thought was the right direction and somehow end up close to where I wanted to be. I eventually managed to find the Plaza de España and the Cathedral and Giralda. Although when I was at the Cathedral and Giralda I didn't realize what it was and had to look it up in my guidebook later.
After aimlessly wandering around, I decided it was time to take advantage of the Spanish siesta. Siestas are a set aside time of rest during the day, and they are wonderful. Basically the city shuts down for a few hours including small stores and businesses. And as a college student I think naps are one of the best things ever; therefore, I may just suggest that Americans start embracing these siestas.
As for today, I will probably go exploring, I mean get myself lost again...
