adventure.

Friday = test day = diet coke = two cups of coffee = only missed one question on my exam.

Paloma made us meat loaf, the garbanzo soup, tomatoes, and bread for lunch. I ate way too much, but I'm going to be living off of nutella sandwiches all weekend! Sweet Paloma made Sara and me two sandwiches each for the road and kissed us both goodbye, wishing us a great trip to Sevilla and Granada. She's really like our mom.

After waiting for a long time in the train station with a gross smelling but very nice man from Alicante, we finally got on the bus. Left Madrid at five, got to Sevilla at midnight. Didn't make it to our room until about 1:30. It's been a long day.

New people to know:
1. The Irish guy that sat in front of me on the bus. I regret not talking to him until about six hours into the trip. We kept making stops and Sara and I would get ready to get off, but no one else would. He finally explained that they make a few small stops along the way, but he would let us know when we got to Sevilla. No lie, I had a hard time focusing on and comprehending what he was saying because of his incredible accent. He asked where we were from and "whereabouts" in Alabama did we live, why are we in Spain, are we living in a hostel, we're with a family? Well that's "grand." I think I could have listened to him talk all day. He asked where we were going in Sevilla and we told him we had no idea; we had a map, an address, and adventurous spirits. Unfortunately, our adventurous spirits faltered a little when we couldn't even make it out of the train station without our Irish friend. Thankfully, he showed us how to get to our destination. He thought it was funny. So sweet.
2. Tarsi. He's hosting us for the evening. Sometimes, his mother lives here. This weekend, she doesn't. But, Tarsi is very nice. He wasn't even mad when we got here so late and couldn't find his apartment building. He came out to the street to find us! He showed us our room, got us some water, and we haven't seen him since. He has maps for us and a list of places we should go to while we're here.

For now, I've quenched my adventurous spirit in hopes of resting my burning eyes and weary body. Ready or not, Sevilla, I'm hitting you full force en la mañana!
