So it's been my first full week in Sevilla (hard to believe I already feel like I've been here for months!). This week was our first week of classes. All of my classes are great, and the teachers are all so enthusiastic and fun here. I am taking a Literature/Cooking course that discusses how food and cooking have influenced literature over time. It is really interesting and we even get to cook every Thursday class. Yesterday we made three different types of bread, since our main focus right now is the significance of bread and beer.

I am also taking a flamenco class to satisfy my music credit back at Rhodes. The teacher is a renown flamenco guitarist and plays so beautifully. He brings his guitar to class and we spend half the time learning the different styles of flamenco, and then the other half he plays the styles for us. My three other classes, Arabic Influence on Spanish Literature, Phonetics and Phonology of the Spanish Language and a History of Three Cultures; Moors, Jews and Christians are all equally as interesting. All of them are taught in Spanish which is a really cool way to be learning about Spain and it's history.

Last night I went to a Flamenco Bar. There is this restaurant called Flamencito right across the street from my University and after class a couple of my friends and I went to watch the last show. There was one guitarist, one man who primarily sang but danced as well, and then the flamenco dancer. It was so beautiful and so inspiring, the way they play the music and are so passionate. I'm definitely going to be going back there again.

Off to Portugal for the weekend, more stories to come after that!
