So after much hassle we arrived in Sevilla 4 hours late with all of our luggage by some miracle. Dinner was weird: hardboiled egg with rice and gravy and what i think was some kind of pork dish. I was too tired to eat very much but i at least tried it.
Then we went in a carriage ride at around 10pm and it was gorgeous! It was just me and my roommate in the last carriage and we were both in awe by the huge buildings and how detailed they were! Sevilla is absolutely gorgeous with winding cobblestone streets and orange trees lining them all along the way. Word on the street is that you're not allowed to eat the oranges so there goes one option of saving money. After the ride my roommate and i went upstairs and hung out because we were really tired but some kids went out to the bar. Boy am I glad i did not join.
I woke up this morning feeling like I had been beat by a baseball bat in my sleep and got really sick to my stomach when i sat up. I'll spare you the gross details but I've been in bed all day drinking "Aquarios" which is a form of gatorade and trying to get rid of my fever. It's not been such a great day. Right now everyone is going to see Flamenco dancers but I wouldn't make it down the stairs so I'm going to pass.
Sorry for such an awful first post from Sevilla. I hope they only get progressively better from now on!
Much Love.

Oh god I'm sorry you're sick! Feel better. Don't worry. There's plenty of time to see flamenco.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah. Don't eat the oranges off the trees on the streets in the south. I was in cOrdoba and my friends and I were deliriously tired and hungry and about to ravenously eat the oranges and a woman came waving and screaming, warning us that they would taste awful and likely make us ill. Still they look and smell pretty. And eat any oranges your host mother gives you. So good.
When do you get your housing?
Zukes,
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you've got the typical travelers bug. Think about all the new germs and crazy shit that your body has ingested in the past two, three days. Don't sweat it girl. Just get better and take care of your body. I'll tell you from experience, being sick in another country without your mommy and without the usual medicines that you take sucks!! The best thing to do is try to prevent sickness in the first place.
On anther note, I am glad you are situated with all you things! Sevilla is beautiful! It has that "old city" feel just like you said. I will try to look at a map and let you know where me and my family trampsed around. We ate one afternoon at this AMAZING, CHEAP restaurant in the city and I will try to look that up for you.
Anyways, get better y sigue hablando chica!
