Stolen

So we are off to Barcelona for the weekend. We fly out tonight at 9:50 from Sevilla and I fly back at 6am on Sunday morning. Short but sweet (I hope). Not exactly sure what we are going to see or do, but I´m sure it will be fine. A lot of walking and seeing fountains and plazas.

This past weekend my back pack was stolen at Plaza de Espana with my ipod, camera, computer charger and all of my home work / notes all in side. It was 5 feet away from me with 2 other people and some guy took off with it. Ben and I couldn´t find him unfortuantly. Lucky for him, not lucky for us. So, needless to say, pictures may be at a minimum on the blog.

Tests are next week. Hopefully I´ll pass. We will find out soon. Right now its: yo no hablo espanol, lo siento.

The weather is getting nicer. Its been sunny and warmer all week. Might have even hit 60 today.

Spain beat England last night in Soccer. There is this english pub by our appartment which we watched the game at. We might have been the only Spain fans in there. I almost got into a fight with this drunk english guy, but he was so drunk he wasn´t sure where to throw a punch. Nothing like futbol in Europe.

Cordoba and Granada

Were back from our weekend trips to Cordoba and Granada. It was quite the adventure and had a great time. 8 of us went (Ben, Shire (my roommates), Sean, Dallas, Jenny, Rachel and I), on the Fri-Sun adventure to Granada, and the trip to Cordoba was through the school and everyone came. We visited ruins outside of Cordoba from the 10th Century. Spain went through different periods of being controlled by Muslims and then by Protestants (Catholics). Most of the architecture is Muslim, and then "changed" to a more protestant style as time went on. Granada was the last hold out of Muslim territory in all of Spain. The weather was cold and rainy but we made the most of it. The bus ride was beautiful with the mountains in the foreground, and we passed through miles and miles of olive groves.
This week I have a test tomorrow (Wednesday) and I'm staying in Sevilla for the weekend. Next weekend we leave on Thursday for Barcelonia and will be there until Sunday.
