Hello everyone! We finally arrived in Sevilla late Thursday night after 12 exhausting hours in the Madrid airport. The original flight from Madrid to Sevilla scheduled for 12 pm was canceled because of "fog" and I couldn't get on another plane to Sevilla until 8 pm! I was ecstatic to finally arrive in Sevilla with all of my luggage! After catching a taxi to Hotel Alcázar I met up with the rest of the group and went to dinner with the other students that arrived late. The trip to Spain was long and stressful and I was so happy to finally sleep in a real bed after 24 hours of planes and airports.
In the hotel with our luggage. It looks like a lot but everything I packed was (more or less) essential!
On Friday morning we had breakfast in the hotel and then packed up our stuff to move into our new homes. My roommate, Alex, and I arrived at our flat on Calle Asucnción around 11 am. Our street is adorable! It's pedestrian-only and lined with cute shops and cafes. My "señora" for the semester, Angeles, is so sweet and works as a professor at the University. She has a GIANT boxer named "Boguie"--pronounced Bo-wee. Angeles told us that he is the "jefe" or boss of the house...and she wasn't kidding. We've already had some interesting encounters with him. Alex and I will have to guard our shoes closely this semester! Overall our flat is great though. The room is fairly big and has a huge closet and a balcony! A German student, Francisca lives down the hall. She has been really helpful and after we unpacked our things she showed us the way to the city center and school.

Alex and I spent Friday afternoon walking around the city and taking in all of the sights. We live across the river from the city center, only a 15 minute walk to the cathedral. I already love living here! All of the people are so friendly and the city is absolutely amazing.
