So today we went to Sevilla! After a LONNGGG night last night (do the people never sleep here?!), Marla and I decided to go to Sevilla ourselves at a later time and meet up with the group later. We BARELY made our train since navigating to the train station here is not as easy as people say it is. We finally made it to Sevilla after an hour long train ride and we were SUPER tired and hungry. So in via to the center of town, we passed by this AMAZING hotel...the most civilization we have seen in the past couple of days. It was so chic, we decided to stay and eat lunch there. Marla got a hamburger (yay for American food!) and I got a ham sandwich with the peek-a-boo egg on top of it. And apparently a wedding was being held there...and the idea of crashing it was too tempting :) Anywho, we made a quick walk to the center of town and were immediately taken away by the beauty and tranquility of the town. Sevilla is seriously by far the most beautiful town in Spain, and quite possibly the most beautiful I have seen. We started out by touring the Cathedral and the Giralda Bell Tower...still takes my breath away! After that we met up with some other people in our program and had some Sangria and olives - so good as always! Oh and we saw a bachelor party in the streets where the bachelor had dressed up as a bull and his party dressed in the typical outfit for the running of the bulls - it was soo funny! It made me love Sevilla even more. Oh, and apparently Sevilla is the place to get married because there were like 500 weddings going on...and they were so beautiful! I can't wait to get married! :)

Anywho, we continued our day in Sevilla by quickly touring some of the Real Alcazar palace and then buying some handmade plates at the popular plate store near the outer parts of Sevilla. We then ate some paella at a bar and dashed for our train!

I definitely enjoyed going back to Sevilla again and having a COMPLETELY different experience. I got to see a lot of things I have never seen before, such as the house part of the Real Alacazar. And there was a ton of the city that I explored that I didn't see before. Sevilla remains to be beyond beautiful, and a true testimony to the wonders of God. And of course, who doesn't love weddings :)
