day 2

well, it´s still hot here, but i think i´m getting used to it. i don´t know about the food, but i´m eating what i´m given. today we had orientation and it was so overwhelming! so much information on so little sleep. it was really helpful though. we had el almuerzo (lunch) at about 2:30 which will be the case every day. then we had siesta! greatest idea ever. everything closes from 2-5 because it´s the hottest part of the day. lunch is served (the biggest meal of the day. and when i say big, i mean big), and then everyone lays down for an hour or so. then everything opens up from 5-9. we did a walking tour of the city with a sevillano (seville native) today. it was awesome, but tiring. we found out where all the cool spots to be are and saw a lot of historical architecture. well, i´m off to walk home for la cena (dinner)! hasta luego. pictures to come soon...

Can't believe you were born in Texas and are complaining about the heat! Glad to hear you are getting settled and that wearing one's underwear around the house is common amongst Dad's across the world! I for one am carrying on the tradition in steamy southern california... Looking forward to some more details about your lodging, roomie, familia and newfound love for sangria...

I love you, Jo! What amazing fun you are having. My, oh, my I love the siesta idea. If I could walk around in my underwear AND take a nap every day, I'd be completely thrilled.

Have fun, girl. Be safe. Keep your eyes on Jesus.
