La Plaza De Espana

Cool tree in a park by the Plaza de Espana
THESE NEXT PICTURES ARE AT THE PLAZA DE ESPANA!!!
The plaza de Espana is a HUGE plaza in the city, it had a water way and has most of the cities in Spain are shown in detail along the entire plaza. Its just giant && so pretty as you will see, and we took a TON of photos so enjoy (:

I also had school today...and now I have homework. BOOOO I'm not ready for school but here it comes! I'm not use to long classes and so I'm bored but I'll get through it of course. But just want you all to know its not ALL fun here...just mostly (:

Sundays

Sundays, nothing is open. Some touristy shops and sights might be open and cafes mostly are, but for the most part, it is a day of rest. && I've been bored all day. I tried to do the relaxing thing but I need to be up really.

I took a siesta (nap) and I did my homework and then researched some cool places to go & see and tried to see if anyone wanted to go to a cafe, but mostly I'm just super BORED!

So next Sunday, I need to figure out something new, this just isn't cutting it for me.

The river

this is just a picture of the ice skating rink that is one of the plazas, pretty. there is also an amusement park and water park that open in April ish time which would be pretty cool to go to.


Last night we went out for the first time in Sevilla, went to a discoteca across the river with friends, it was a lot of fun. I just like to go out and dance && even some Spaniards taught me and my friend Katie how to do this cool little dance. I just can't get over the amount of smoke that is just everywhere, its icky. 

Today we got to finally sleep in too so me and my roomie took full advantage of that and when we finally were up and ready, us and some friends went and walked a long the river, it was actually really nice out today, and then popped in some shops, ran into more friends, and just walked a little with the city vibing (vibe in ING form, but I don't think thats a word but ehh). So we took a lot of cute pictures && I love the city at night. Everything is like light up and glowing and its soooo pretty! And Spaniards go out for a paseo (like a stroll) around 8ish pm so theres just people everywhere and it was really nice out. 

So enjoy the pictures!
This was something next to the river  


The palm trees 

The river

This is me and my roomie Nellie at the river

Tyler, me && Callum

This is Kristin, Rachel, Me & Nellie at some cool statue by the river, we had to hoard off a couple of Spaniards making out on it to get this picture. They have quite the affectionate culture here. 

The night life & busy city

This is Sara, Tyler, Kristin, Nellie, Me, Rachel & Callum at a fountain in the middle of the plaza Puerta de Jerez

These next pictures are from " El Alcazer" Which is basically a fortress for people where the king would have guests and see his mistress'. It was so beautiful. && ITS FREE! when I show my student ID so I think I am going to try to study in there sometime.

The room that this "eye" is in is why they named the room after it
