Hello from España! I arrived in Sevilla today and am settled for the night in a hostel right in el centro. Tomorrow I should be connecting with the rest of my program and having orientation in a hotel right by the river. I had quite a journey getting here including 3 hours to find the train station in Madrid via the metro, borderline sexually harrassed by a gay Basque man on the train who thought I was a ¨Americana guapa¨. He raved about how much better gentlemen the Basques are than the Sevillanos. I was tempted to say that I would look for and avoid the men that acted like he did, but my confidence to say that in Spanish got the best of me. The weather is georgous and the streets are crowded with buzzing motorbikes and people talking and eating tapas and wine outside cafes. I am still adjusting and getting over the fact that I left all the people I love back home but soon, when I get connected with my family and program, I won´t feel so homesick. I wish I could write more but will soon!
Saludos!

Hey Bets!! So glad to hear that you arrived in Sevilla safe and sound...though I can imagine a bit frazzled by the man on the bus. If it makes you feel any better, when I first arrived in Bolivia a schizophrenic woman ran out to me and copped a feel. It'll make for an interesting story ;) Can't wait to hear about your host family and program. Love you! Natals
