So since I do not have sufficient time to compose all of my stories from the past few days, I will give a short installment to keep you interested enough to come back and read later...
It rained today. In Sevilla. It rained. Enough said.
But really...after lunch this afternoon, before I left for class, it began to rain. My madre asked if I had an umbrella and when I said no, the look on her face was of horror. She proceeded to find me a paraguas (Quick lesson: para=for, agua=water, paraguas=umbrella (for water) get it?! Yay Spanish!). And reminded me about 47,000 times (approximately 4) as I was leaving, that "it's raining." haha...
On my way to class, I was carrying my umbrella in the wind. You should note, that umbrellas make me nervous because they are supposed to comfort you by keeping you dry, but I run into things (example: Claire's face). Anyway...I passed a woman wearing a plastic grocery bag made into a shower cap. Innovative. Entertaining. I approved.
Another fun story, while walking home from class (and a Flamenco museum because I had to go to write an essay about it for my grammar class), I heard my name being called behind me. I ignored it at first, because how many people do I know in Spain? Then I thought, how many Holly's are in Spain? It was my madre's friend, who lives across the street and is the host mom of another girl at my school. How fun! I felt like I had friends! It was great.
yay friends!
