Churros y Chocolate

My new favorite snack are churros drenched in melted chocolate with sugar sprinkled on top. Mmmm. :) The Spanish tradition is to stay out dancing and socializing all night, and have churros and chocolate for breakfast before returning home to go to bed. I prefer to have it as an appetizer to dinner around 8. :)

How are you all? I don't have much time to write but wanted to give a quick update. Things are still going well here- maybe minus two not-so-happy things. First, it is HOT. Hot hot hot here. Today a friend and I walked around town from about 4-10. We stopped at every air-conditioned store we could find and drank two liters of water. The sun is very intense here, so 110 can feel like 125! Somehow the locals seem used to it. :) The second thing was a very bad experience last night. After celebrating Adam's birthday at a classy Italian restaurant in el centro, we debated how to get home at 1 in the morning. With some convincing of a friend, we decided to take the night bus that would go near our house. Wrong decision! What should typically be a 15 minute bus ride turned out to be 40 minutes. The worst part though, were the very forward Spanish teenagers who made obscene Spanish comments a row behind us. I promise you, we're not doing that again. :)

Sevilla is still wonderful. Today I visited more of el centro and also explored an international fair by the river. Tomorrow's plans include paddle boating on the river and riding a four person bike. Sounds like a good time right? :) Friday we tour the infamous cathedral and then leave for Lagos, Portugal! Our time is nearing the end and I'm scrambling to do "everything."

Let me know how you're doing! I miss you all. I'll write again soon, promise. :)
