Classes started on Monday and my class sizes range from 2-4 students. I'm taking a Spanish class, two history classes, and an arts and monuments class. The arts and monuments class consists of field trips to a different sight in Sevilla each class.

On Wednesday we took a bus tour of Triana and Sevilla from the top of a double decker bus and we were able to get a feel for the whole area. This was also my first time seeing the amazing Guadalquivir river which flows between Sevilla and Triana with some unique buildings lining each side. Finally, after a long week we finished the week with a small tapas (small plates, similar to appetizers) tour with the program to some local spots around the school. My favorite dish we tried was a plate of homemade french fries with an egg on top covered in a tomato sauce, it was amazing. Saturday night we returned to the river and ate at a restaurant with a stunning open air view of the river and el Torre del Oro.
Last night was the first flamenco dance class and I can't wait for the next one. We all learned (more like struggled through) the first basic steps of flamenco and by the end everyone seemed to have it down. The flamenco class is offered by a gym next the school and is going to be a great way to understand the flamenco culture in Seville!
Those are the highlights, this weekend were traveling to Granada and I should have more to tell then!
Love and miss everyone back in the states <3
