I'm here!

I can't believe that I'm writing this from a beautiful apartment in Seville, Spain. I arrived on Thursday afternoon after 2 very uneventful flights (thankfully, since the pilots working for Iberia are on strike...), and was warmly greeted by my Senora. I had been told that I was living in a single, but found out in the airport that I actually have a roommate, which is great! It turns out that I am living about 1.5 miles from the University, so it is really nice to have a roommate to walk with, plus the fact that we can help each other communicate when we get confused with our Spanish, or the map, or where we are supposed to be...you get the idea. Our Senora drove us back to her house, which took about a half hour, and helped us move in. Our room has 2 twin beds and one standing wardrobe, half of which is for each of us. The rest of our stuff (which, luckily, isn't that much) is on a small folding table, the windowsill, and a small nighttable. It's very small, but cozy and comfortable. Afterwards, she made us a delicious lunch and we wandered into town along the river to get cell phones. Luckily, and friend had given me his friend's phone from when she was in Spain, so I only had to add more minutes to it. We got a little lost on the way back in Seville's windy, tiny streets, but we got back, ate dinner, and crashed, since we had been up for almost 48 hours.
