Sevilla

---

So this weekend, I did my first overnight trip without NYU. I took the 6 hour bus(round trip=29 Euros) instead of the 2 hour speed train(round trip=120 Euros). It wasn't so bad. On the way there, they showed "Dr Jekyll and Mrs Hyde". It was an old american movie dubbed in Spanish, but i watched it through without headphones, which was better than hearing the Spanish. It was pretty funny.
We had a lot of fun and took a lot of pictures, so you can hear about my adventures through them.
The shopping there was great, but I only bought 2 pairs of shoes, a pair of sneakers for running and black heels for going out. Both were only 6 euro each. Yelena also bought 2 pairs of shoes but for 70 euro together.
The ride back they showed "The Good Girl" in Spanish of course, but because I've seen it, I basically narrated the entire film. It was fun. Okay, check out the pictures...

The Hostel room
It was a quad. Yelena and I shared this bed. It was technically only one night, but we checked in at 6 in the morning, when our bus came in and slept til 10.

The other side
Oh, and we had our own bathroom.

My travelmates
So, Howard, Zach, and Yelena. It basically rained the whole first day, but none the second even though it was supposed to rain the enitre weekend.

The Weeping Virgin
Far away

The Weeping Virgin
The huge attraction to this place is the weeping virgin, but i couldn't get very close to show the crystal tears on her face.

A float
This is a 3 ton float with a scene of Jesus' sentencing. Every Good Friday 48 men carry this as well as many other heavy floats all around town for over 12 hours with only their feet showing.

A surviving piece of the 12th century wall
Did I mention that this is Neighborhood, Macarena, and yes it's the one that a local dance band changed the world with "The Macarena"

Museo
More than the art, they had great little gardens

The ceiling.
They had these round benches and we all sat, looked up, and just talked about religion and stuff for over half an hour. It was nice.

Thanks, Cassie
Hi Cassie, I am Zack's mom and I really enjoyed your pics. Thanks for the descriptions; especially the note on shopping. Zack's reports never discuss shopping details, so that was a thrill. Hope your shoes worked out and that you were able to enjoy the "fruits" of your labors!
