It´s really hot here...

Hello! We´re at an internet cafe right now. Today we all went on a hop-on/hop-off tour bus around Sevilla. It was really pretty and I learned a lot about Sevillian history. I´ll explain some of it when I put more pictures up. I realized that when I post pictures, they´re positioned differently on my typing box than they are on the page that you all see, so I´ll try to keep than in mind in order to label them correctly, and make them right-side up this time. I´m learning.

Today we also rented a 4-person bicycle/carriage thing and rode it around Maria Luisa Park. It was really fun and the park is soooo beautiful. We also saw Plaza de España, a huge arena type thing. A guy was selling fans and castanets there, and he and I were having fun playing the castanets. He ended up giving me a pair of castanets for free! I had really wanted to buy some, but free is even better! The last of our touring today took us to Museo de Bellas Artes. It has an amazing collection of Spanish paintings. I would estimate that 95% of the paintings were of Christ or another religious figure. It´s really cool to see so much art like that. I bought a print of ¨la Virgen de la Servilleta¨. It´s a beautiful painting of Mary and the baby Jesus, and I really like how expressive Jesus´ eyes are.

Karen´s calling her mom, so that´s while we´re here at the internet cafe. After this we´re going to go to Karen´s place to make spaghetti. I´m really hungry and tired. The heat sucks so much out of you. But overall it was a great day. I´ll write more on Monday! :) Michelle
