This week I got lost about 109230948295 times. I tried to meet Rebekah at the Catedral one day and it took me 2 hours to find her when it is only like a 45 minute walk. I had to ask a bunch of people how to get there until I finally found it. Also, on Tuesday we went on a tour of La Casa de Pilatos, which is a Palace in Sevilla. We got extremely lost on our way there because we decided to try taking a faster route, but it actually took us twice as long to get there. The streets in El Centro de Sevilla are super windy and make no sense whatsoever. Unfortunately, we were in a rush to get to the Palace and I forgot my camera! So sad! Let's just pretend I took this picture.... (it is really from google)
On Tuesday, Rebekah and I made plans to meet with my friend, Gonzalo (who I met last weekend), and her intercambio, José. We met them at a bar in our neighborhood and talked for like 3 hours in both English and Spanish. Gonzalo and José are both pretty much fluent in English, but they are going to help us with our Spanish. José is actually an English teacher! We are going to try to meet with them at least twice a week because talking with them just for a few hours really helped improve our speaking! They are also super cool and fun to hang out with!
Me and Gonzalo...
Tonight we are meeting up with them again and going to a disco with their friends and our friends. Gonzalo is actually friends with our friend Pepe too!
My actual intercambio, Melchor, lives in Zaragota and only comes back to Sevilla for weekends so I haven't been able to meet him yet. Hopefully soon!
Tomorrow I am signing a pledge to only speak in Spanish until May. Only about 10 people in my program are doing it, but I really want to improve my Spanish. I can only speak English when I leave Spain and when I'm talking to people from home. It will be interesting but I think it will be rewarding!
2 days until Carnaval!! :)
