Seville

I've done a lot of exploring since I arrived in Spain. After I met my family at the train station, we packed up the car with all of my belongings and were on our way to Tomares. It is about a 10 minute ride from the city to the small town. The streets are very narrow and busy. It is a miracle that people are able to navigate them. We pulled up to a large gated community of white houses. I went inside and was immediately greeted with kisses from a fluffy white dog named Aslan. I was given a tour of the house, and at the end I was shown to my own private bedroom. I unpacked all of my belongings and settled into my new home.

My family decided that we would spend the evening in Seville, and I am so grateful that we did. The city is unbelievably beautiful and filled with endless history. La Catedral de Sevilla, la Plaza de España, la Giralda. Agustin and Celia rambled on about the significance of every single one. The streets are lined with cafes with people chatting and enjoying tapas. There are many shops selling Spanish memorabilia. It is all so lively and welcoming.

The transportation system is entirely different. Most everyone from Tomares uses either the metro or public bus system to go to the city. Both are within walking distance from my house so they are easily accessible. I enjoy not having to rely on a parent to drive me and being independent. I have to learn the schedules and be able to find the stops on my own. I know if I ever want to meet in the city with friends or family, I can make use of the public transportation systems.
