class trip [sevilla, spain]


Had to get to the airport by 6:45 for our flight. It all went pretty well - there was a 30 minute layover in Mallorca and then we finally got into Sevilla at about 1pm. We got settled in with our randomly selected roommates (mine was really nice) and then went to find some lunch in town. The streets were really beautiful - very quaint and what you would picture a Spanish town to look like. We ended up at a very local place where the waiter had a very amazing mullet (they're all the rage in Spain) and not too many teeth. We got a combo plate for 5 Euro that had a fried egg, some really good chicken, a ham croquet, a fish stick, a hair or two, and some fries. I love the way these people eat. Awesome. Minus the hairs.

After that we all walked to the Cathedral which was a lot better than the Cathedral of Barcelona. A lot bigger with a pretty bell tower that had a really good view of the city. Couldn't tell you too much more about it - cathedrals tend to run together a bit after a while. Then I got separated from my friends so I walked around by myself for quite a while, which I sometimes prefer and I needed a little time to myself after all that traveling and tour-group action.

Later on we had dinner at the hotel (not too bad for free food) and then got ready to go out. We went to a bar on this road called Betis along the river where a bunch of the other people in our program were going. It was really crowded and they had 1 Euro tequila shots which I took advantage of for a bit, but then it got a little too crowded and we got tired so we headed back to the hotel around 2am.
