La Ultima Semana

This is our last week Sevilla, we leave on Saturday, because we are only doing session 1. The last three weeks have flown by! Most of this week we have spent at the school doing our homework, presentation, and studying for our final. We have still gotten to visit different monuments in our class though. This week we went to the university of sevilla, el toro de oros, and la plaza de españa. Wednesday was our last day to tour the city with our professor. Tomorrow, Thursday, we have to give our presentations and Friday is our exam.

Today we are working on our presentations and then picking up some last minute souvenirs and maybe get some churros con chocolate. Then we asked our host mom to do some laundry for us so we can start packing. On Saturday we are taking the Ave to Madrid and then getting on a plane to Frankfurt to stay with a friend for ten days. Even though we are sad to leave Sevilla and the friends we have made here we are so excited to go to Germany.

On Thursday we went to a tile painting class. It was hard to paint them well, but hopefully they turned out okay! And later today we have to walk to Triana to get them. 

On Friday we brought out weekend bags to class and went to class before leaving for Portugal. In our arts monument class we went to the museo de bellas artes. The arts monument class is so cool because you don't just get to learn about the history of Sevilla and Spain, but you get to see it to. I'm happy we really get to explore the city during our class time. My favorite place so far was alcázar real. It's a huge combination of different palaces and it is beyond beautiful. Also seeing the city during class time gives us lots of opportunities to do other things outside of class, whether it's exploring more, shopping, trying new food, or doing activities. 

After class we left for Portugal. After the three hour bus ride we all changed and went to the beach. We quickly found out how cold the water was in Lagos. However, it was nice because it felt pretty hot there. Once we got back we had pizza for dinner. On Saturday we woke up, ate some breakfast, and we took boat tours of all the rock formations and caves. It was so cool and pretty to see them. Our boat guide was telling us the names of the different formations and showing us all the shapes. 

After the boat tour we just laid on the beach, swam a little, and collected sea shells.

Sunday morning we woke up and pack our things and got back in the bus to Sevilla. For the rest of the day we tried to write some of our paper for our class.
