Sevilla!

This post is gonna be quick because I need to get to bed. For those who even knew I was traveling, clearly I've made it to Sevilla safe and sound. Slept for all 5 hours on the bus. Surprise, surprise...I know. We got here and checked into the hotel since we had all of our things then went to see the world's biggest cathedral. It was cool, but I kind of feel that once you've seen one, you've kind of seen them all. I guess this one is different because Christopher Columbus's remains are supposedly in this one. It did have a clocktower that you ascend and it had a really pretty view of Sevilla. After we just kind of wondered around looking at the city. We "bar hopped" for dinner. Tapas aren't free here with drinks. Reason #837482734 I miss Ubeda already.


So we departed this morning. Seriously one of the saddest moments of my life. I hated saying goodbye to my family. The tears welled up in my eyes but I was able to keep myself from crying. Anyone that knows me knows that I don't cry. Ever. So, kind of a big deal. It was sad to say goodbye to mis padres and Amanda's fam (my second family) but it was most sad to say goodbye to mi hermano. I think it was equally as hard on him. He about cried this morning when we were talking about how we'd miss each other. Last night I said goodbye to Oscar, who is really my brother's best friend, but I'll claim him as one of my best in Ubeda. We made them hug us, none of that kiss, kiss, beso, beso shit. I really hope that one day I can make it back to Ubeda. Part of my heart is always going to be there. In the city, in the people, in the culture.



Well, as I said, this won't be long. We're getting up real early to head to Cordoba in the morning for the day. Hopefully, I'll be able to gain access to the internet again but in case I don't, sorry for the lack of updates. But keep checking back :)
