Estoy muy cansado! aka I'm friggin' tired! I finally stayed up all day to try to adjust to this whole jet-lag thing, and I'm about ready to fall asleep. 'Pepe y yo' are watching a movie in Spanish right now... "Assault on Precinct 13" I believe it is called. Let's see... highlights of the day. I woke up this morning to get ready to meet up with my advisor, Macarena. I got out of bed after 2 alarms, took a shower, got dressed, then checked my phone and noticed I had a text from her that said she was rescheduling our meeting for tomorrow because of the forecast of rain all day. (p.s. It bar
ely rained all day...) For "el desayuno" (breakfast), I had toast and hot chocolate milk... Pepi had me add vinegar and oil to "la tostada" and it was a little crunchy, but still really good. After that I relaxed until 'el almuerzo' while working on all of my pictures I have taken up
until now. I still haven't got around to taking pictures of the room, but it'll happen. 'El almuerzo' was around 3 p.m. and ohhhh was it amazing! Ternera, ensalsa, compatata y chanpiño, ensalada de pasta con bonito, juevo duro, pimiento marron, y la pasta (spelling check on all of those)(see pictures above) After that I had a good talk with one of Ana's friends about how Star Wars: Episode 2 had a part that was filmed in Seville. After that, I finally got to meet the other students in my program. We walked around Seville a bit and then stopped at a bar to share some drinks. I found out that beer is cheaper than Coca-Cola here, so naturally I had some. Apparently it's the best beer in Seville. Cruzcampo is the name (below) It was pretty good too! 
The bar gradually filled up with futbol fans who all turned out to watch the derby game between Sevilla and Real Betis. The game ended in a tie, but damn those fans were loyal to their teams. The names of the other 2 students (1 chico y 1 chica) are Phil and Erika. They are fun people to be around and I look forward to exploring Sevilla with them in the days and weeks to come! Here are some random pictures I took after the game. We walked to the river and then back to our respective homes. 
Overall, it was a great day to just soak in Seville. On the way back to dinner, we saw a festival going on, but no idea what for, so we decided to check it out. I saw some kids dancing and they were absolutely adorable! (See video below**) For dinner, I came back home and had "sopa" (soup) with Pepi. It was alright, but I think it had a peppermint leaf in it or something, and it just had a unique taste... But it's taking me forever to type this blog because I keep falling asleep and watching this movie... Anyway, that is all for now! Hasta pronto! -RDB-
