day 14: supermercado

Thursday this week was our last day of the school week→yayy! Friday is a holiday here in Sevilla to celebrate their Patron Saint - San Fernando. His body will be in the cathedral for all the people in Sevilla to see.

BUT since it was our last day this week we reviewed some "market" type vocab and headed on a mini field trip to a market near our school. We had to walk around and ask people questions. We were also there to see what their markets are like and why people shop there. A few of the girls in my class bought some fruit to take with them for lunch.

It was an indoor market with several different stands. They sell all types of seafood, meat, cheeses, veggies, fruits, and breads. There was even a clothing store, jewelry store, and a haircut place.




After our trip we all walked back to school for the second half of the day. The second half (1130-1) always goes by the fastest.

Love this girl! 
After school I went home for my siesta BUT instead during that time Rob and I actually decided we wanted him to come to Spain during his two week leave from work. It was an idea we were toying with but, once we had friends offer to care for Kaela we made it a reality. This afternoon I booked his flight, train tickets, and our hotel. *Me sooo HAPPY!! *

In the evening, since most of the group was leaving for Portugal Friday afternoon, we decided going out Thursday was a must.

Around 8pm I met up with Ayanna, another girl in our group that lives near me, and we walked over to a hookah bar on San Fernando called Bagdad. A bunch of other girls were gonna meet us up there for some hookah and drinks before we went out to dinner.


Maddie, Cyndi and I
All the ladies :D (I took the picture)
Mint and Raspberry was our flavor.
Me liked it.
After we hung out there for a while we all walked to Iguanas Ranas for dinner. I enjoyed a nice little baby margarita and some nachos as my late dinner. (Since we ended up getting dinner at like midnight)


Then, since it was already 1am, I decided it was time to call it a night. Staying out late and being hung over woulda kinda ruined having Friday off school.

    You are getting so many good pictures you will have a wonderful album. I definitely have decided I would prefer seville to the Dominican Republic. Looks a lot cleaner and inviting. It seems like you are meeting a lot of fun people. Do you think you will stay in touch with them when you all go in difference directions. I know I say this all the time but keep the blogs coming along with your pictures. By the way are you doing a lot of walking??? Lol hopefully we will talk to you soon. Love you lots, G'ma and G'pa

    I'm hoping we stay in touch. Only time will tell. It'd be nice to have them as friends when I return to southern to finish in the spring.

    And I like it here a lot but the DR was a lot of fun. I feel like my Spanish improved a bit more there because the accent was easier and less people knew English.

    And yes we do a LOT of walking. Hours a day. Minimum two hours a day.
