WOW

Sevilla has out done itself! I went with my friends from school but ended up hanging with Spaniards I met! We all went out to this amazing tapas joint. You have to remember, all though Tapas is extrodinarily common in Madrid, it is from Andalusia. Sevilla's tapas are in a different league. It so interesting that here, we all ordered tons of dishes and it becomes and orgy of utensils over pools of food. In America, everyone orders there own dish. Here, when every goes out tons of dishes are ordered and you pick and chooses what you want. It's like a pig out. How deicious. Classes were great today, I'm really enjoying them. I feel so lucky to be able to have this experience here. Thanks mom and dad! It truly is an experience will never leave my soul. It's also becoming clear to me that going on a vacation and having an experience are two, very different things. You can get on a plane, stay in a 5 star hotel, see the sights of a city, and what do you get from it? You see sights, a departure from home. That's great when you got a family and want a relaxing rest. But what a true experience is, is interaction. You need to communicate with the culture here, the customs, the food, the night life, the people. This past weekend I found myself multiple times with out an American friend by my side, and you know what? I loved it! I understood more about Sevillan culture and dialect than I could ever get in a classroom. I am not here to have a luxurious time in Europe. I'm here to discover it. Sorry for all that. I feel like a million Euros!

A seven hour bus drive isn't so bad with views like this.
