So my family was in Spain for about a week, minus my sister who will visit me in mid-late may. We saw almost all the sights in Sevilla- La Giralda, El Alcázar, Plaza de Toros, Parque de María Luisa, Plaza España, CIEE El Palacio (where I take classes), La Facultad Antigua de Derechos, Avenida Constitución, the Cathedral, and most importantly, where I live!
We dined, we walked miles, we saw, and finally we had dinner with my host parents. After translating back in forth in english to spanish and spanish to english, I was absolutely exhausted! But the dinner went really well. One of my favorite moments was when my host parents were telling my actual dad to eat more, but my dad shook his hands and said no since he was full, but my host mom just slapped some more food onto his plate. Now they know what I go through every meal, and I love it.
We also went to Córdoba, which my parents and brother loved. Then we traveled to Madrid, saw the Prado Museum, and the next day went to Toledo. With stone walling, tiny streets, a setting on a mountain, torture museum exhibits, two synagogues, a large cathedral, and major Visigoth history (used to be the capital of the Visigoth Spain), Toledo has to be one of my favorite cities.
Overall, I loved having my family with me in Spain and know that my parents and brother truly enjoyed the trip and can see how a life in Spain wouldn't be all that bad.

ReplyDeleteAndrea, you were a great tour guide and translator. You also wore me out. Or was that the cold I picked up & still can't shake???
I LOVE Spain!!!!
