Just a little update...

Things in Seville are busy as usual. The days pass with such intense vigour, that I really can't describe it. The heat comes and goes and as much as the school work ebbs and flows, I feel a monsoon coming on. Last weekend I took a brief day trip to Cadiz, which in on the Costa de la Luz (if I'm not mistaken), and it was beautiful. My main objective was to see the cathedral and hit the beach. Both we accomplished. I climbed up the bell tower with exceptional views, as I probably mentioned in my last post but it's worth mentioning again. Then, on the Sunday I went to a Seville Futbol Club soccer match. Unfortunately Sevilla lost but the game was fun and I was in good company so I really can't complain.

This weekend I had planned to do the same day trip thing except this time head to Malaga. However, as this weekend was the weekend of Santa Pilar, the Patron Saint of Spain, there were fewer trains running and much more people going places. The trains were all booked so I decided to stick around Sevilla, which also did not disappoint as I got on my bike and toured around and spent the afternoon/evening with Phil and Chris playing guitar, eating and drinking rum and it was nice. Tomorrow we're hitting Sevilla's last bullfight of the year, hopefully it's not sold out, but I guess we'll see.

Then it's back to the grind, my first midterm is this week with three more the following week. Then people, the countdown to Morocco begins. I keep saying I'm going to tell you more about school, but it just seems so far on the back burner in terms of all the other stuff going on. Needless to say, I am still in school, despite being in Spain they still have the audacity to give us exams and homework and and and. It's really not that bad, one day I'll give the school part its deserved portion of blog glory. But not today.
