first weeks

From Madrid, we took a train to Sevilla then a taxi to our hotel. Almost everyone else just got to Europe on that day, so they were jetlagged. I was glad I already went through that! That night we went out to dinner and got to know people.
I cannot currently upload entire albums to facebook so I will add a couple here for you to see.
Here is what I see on my walk to class everyday:
we cross the Guadalquivir riverthen we walk through el parque Maria Louisa. This isn't the part that we walk through. The park is very big with lots of fountains and birds. Then we walk through the beautiful Plaza de Espana. (We is me and the other people that live in my neighborhood).
We also visited the Alcazar with a teacher from EUSA (where we are taking our first class that is only a month long before the University of Sevilla starts).
These are some gardens next to the Alcazar
There are gardens all over the city:
The girl in the picture is my friend Monika, a girl in the program.
I will try to take pictures of my host family and the house sometime. This afternoon we are going to the Museum of Archeology and tomorrow we are going to Italica (ruins near Sevilla) and the beach!
