las frisbellanas

---

so i played frisbee on friday with a team i found on the internet. it was actually about an hour walk up the river and across a bridge but the grafiti by the riverwalk was absolutely stunning, like some of the best i´ve ever seen. so i get there and end up playing frisbee for about 3 hours with 15 natives who speak almost no english. at first i was pretty timid and didn´t try to talk much but everyone was super nice and i got comfortable pretty quickly. my legs are totally shot now because of it but it was an amazing time. the captain, juan carlos, even lent me his extra bike for the ride home which saved me about 35 minutes. it was weird because when i got home i was still speaking in spanish because i hadn´t spoken english for about 4.5 hours. í can´t wait to play next week!

i was able to see the packer game, which is unfortunate. also i didn´t get to sleep untill 5 am since that´s about when it ended and i got a solid 3.5 hours of sleep before class. oh well, that´s why we take siestas. i had my spanish painters class today and there are 3 students in it : laura, michelle, and i. the class was actually pretty interesting, too.

i got some extra time before lunch so i´ll try and get some pictures and videos up. hasta luego!

las calles
there are so many little random curving windy streets. there is pretty much no rhyme or reason to the city planning, actually there just was no city planning

flamenco
it´s blurry but kind of cool

almadea de hercules
a cool long rectangular plaza kind of by our house. there are these big pillars on both sides

fountain by plaza de la gavidia
just thought it looked cool, it´s on our way to and from school.

nuestro patio
this is the courtyard of our apartment building. a good place for frisbee but after 930 pm you may or may not get yelled at by people for it being too late and loud if you drop it.

random grafiti face
all over sevilla there is grafiti, this face is one of the most popular probably a gang sign or something. the best stuff i saw was on the riverwalk el paseo rey juan carlos I. these colorful faces are from a plaza near the school

fc sevilla
alex lives kind of by the fc sevilla soccer stadium where i got this picture. our senora, pepa is a sevilla fan and hates real betis the other team here. she even sang part of there little fight song for us. ¨Sevillista hasta la muerte¨

part of the cathedral
the cathedral is ridiculously large and not easy to photo. i have a video that shows it a little better that i might try to get up here soon. this is only a small section of it.

las naranjas
there are orange trees all over the place but they are super sour. a few of my roommates tested them and supposedly pretty horrible. they use this type of oranges for marmalade
