Senderismo!

May 22, 2011

(Note- there's a post below this one about my Saturday as well! Enjoy!)

Hiiiiii! Today we went hiking. Left at 9am, came back by like, 5. It was hard. Wow. 7 miles, and it wasn’t a straight path. I have the scars to prove it! But it was worth it. There’s not much that goes on in Sevilla on Sundays. Many shops are closed. And today was a big day because it was an election day. So I went hiking…

I took a lot of pictures of scenery. It was pretty and I’m glad I went. I went mainly for the workout because I haven’t had time to go for a run or anything – and since the food here is muy deliciosa, I don’t want to come back huge J

It took an hour and a half to get there. I slept the whole way hehe. But it was north west of Sevilla, towards Portugal. We had a guide that told us what certain things were. We smelled many plants – ahaha. The highlights: there are wild horses, bring more water next time, we got chased by a herd of wild pigs (yes, wild pigs), and I got to eat cherries off of a tree!!!

I’m trying to upload pictures onto Facebook right now. If you do not have a Facebook, find someone who does to look at my pictures! That is, if it works – 38 minutes remaining? Ugh!

Classes start tomorrow. I will have class every day from 10-1. Not bad! It’ll be very nice to get into a routine.

Mi senora is very nice. She said she is an independent person. She works as a freelance real estate agent so she basically does what she wants. The independent part works well for me – she’s never home so I don’t feel bad when I’m not home either!

Wow this picture uploading thing is taking forever, I hope my computer makes it! What else can I talk about…

So far, wha I’ve learned is Spain is amazing. I feel like everything makes more sense here. From the way the cities make everything convenient to get to, eating a big lunch late in the day, and a lighter dinner way later, the public bike system & transportation in general…ah the list goes on and on. They also are very energy conservant. I can’t describe it, but it’s very European and it makes so much sense the way they live. I like it.

At the café today I ordered Te Roja (red tea). It’s very good and I’m not much of a tea person!

Alright I’m out of things to say and I’m sure you’re tired of hearing from me! Hahah!

Hasta luego!
