week three-five: seville.

The last three weeks in Seville have gone by so fast. Here are a few highlights:

Weekend trip to Granada. Bus rides (always fun). Comfortable hotel with a breakfast buffet (yum!) and a rooftop pool we didn't get to swim in. Lots of walking of course. Amazing views of the city and the Alhambra. Bazaars. Shopping on a budget. Sushi. Not understanding the Spanish tour. AUDIOGUIDES (in English!). Exploring the Alhambra (AMAZING). Getting left by the group. Not knowing how to get back to the center. Eating on a budget. "Finding" 5 euros. Taking 30 minutes to figure out what to do with the 5 euros (ice cream + water). Success.
The Alhambra. Casas sin gente, Gente sin casas. Audioguides. Bazaars.

Intercambios. Can you say memorable?! Eye-opening (how much do you know about the world around us?). Definitely entertaining. Spanish practice. English practice. Meeting new people. 3 hr conversations. Finding out your ability to converse is more than you thought. "Mejor sola que mal acompañada". "No game". "FOMO".
Our intercambios: Irene y Antonio.

Classes at CLIC. New students from Australia, Belgium, and Germany. New teacher (hasta luego Vicky y hola Reyes). Learning A LOT. Getting super competitive during games. Playing ¨Guess Who?¨. Having entire conversations in Spanish. Watching Spanish films. Field trips. Chocolate con churro.Walking around Sevilla.
Class fieldtrips. Eating. Exhibitions.

General wanderings. Late nights at the river. Discotecas. Celebrating birthdays. Being a tourist. Finally making it to the Cathedral. Casa de Pilatos. Jazz night at Naima. Getting lost (but not as often!). Feeding fish. Picnic at Plaza España. Falling in love with Sevilla.


Views from the Giralda and the Setas. Matalascañas Beach. Picnic at Plaza España. Nights by the river.

See you soon, Seville. It´s been amazing.
