Hey!

    This first week in my intensive language and grammar courses was a little difficult. My class is about 3 hours long (doesn’t seem like it) and the professor is really nice. After the first week was over we had a trip to Cad�z that is South from Sevilla Spain. The bus was about 1.5 hours and the scenery along the way was incredible. We arrived in Cad�z around eleven A.M. and the town was beautiful. I began taking tons of pictures as we were riding in the bus. I’ve never seen such a bright and colorful town before! It literally took my breath away! I had no words at first because I was trying to absorb the beauty of the cultural and architecture.

      My favorite part was standing on top of the cathedral looking over the entire city. It was a gorgeous day out, no clouds and a blue sky, perfect. I couldn’t believe that there are places in this world that have such amazing cultures and beauty. The cathedral was enormous and breathe taking, I also was really excited because I knew I would definitely go back to Cad�z again this semester. I also was amazed by the color of the water in contrast to the city of Cad�z.

       Last week I also got the privilege of seeing a Flamenco show in Sevilla. That was really enjoyable because I never got the chance to admire the talent of Seville dancers. There were four people in the show and one was on a guitarist and the other was a singer. The two dancers were very talented and fun to watch. I thought it was neat how people could produce music with only one instrument and a singer, plus the dancers wore clog type shows that added to the sounds. I’m used to the typical dancing in America and never saw Spanish dancer before. This past week has been crazy but I’ve liked the busy time. Everything seems to be moving at a fast pace and I’m hoping my Spanish is getting better!!

Hasta Luego!
