Beautiful Ronda
Another great week! Time is flying by! I can't believe that I've been here for almost a month now. Unfortunately the rain continued for much of the past week and let me tell you, I've never seen more miserable students in my life! At times it was pouring down so hard and the wind was so intense that everyone was running around with their umbrellas going in all directions and searching for cover because no matter what they did they were getting soaked. Thank goodness my dad bought me not only a great umbrella but a good waterproof jacket as well! The rain eventually subsided on thursday but it's been pretty cold which most of you know, I hate more than anything! ha ha. But other than the disappointing weather, things have been good, we are all starting to get to know the city and feel comfortable walking around it.
Yesterday we had another excursion with ISA to a little town called Ronda just outside of Sevilla. It's a beautiful little mountain town with unbelievable views. We mostly just walked around the town and enjoyed the sites but we also got to go into one of the oldest bull fighting rings in all of Spain. It was really neat to visit and learn about the popular tradition of bull fights and hopefully I will be able to attend one next month when they begin. We weren't given much time in Ronda which was sad but hopefully I will have time to come back durning my stay in Spain.
After Ronda we visited another little town not far from Ronda called Arcos de la Frontera which was also beautiful with all white buildings and spectacular views. It was a very long day but it was completely worth it!
Next weekend we have a long weekend, monday the 28th is a Holiday here in Sevilla, so a few girl friends and I are taking advantage and flying to London, England for a few days and then over to Dublin, Ireland. It should be a lot of fun and I am so thankful for all the family and friends that are accommodating us during our travels!
Well, as I'm writing this it looks like the rain has returned and the cold has definitely set it so it's time for me to get to bed! Buenos noches!
