Weekend in Sevilla

I'm so behind on my blog! A few weekends ago Jess, Lisamarie, and I went to Sevilla. Our new friend, Sophie, from Holland also came too. I had my first experience ever with the train and the hostel and they both went very well, especially the hostel. The owners were very accomodating and wanted to make sure we had fun in Sevilla. It was so weird, though, because I noticed this guy as soon as we walked into the hostel. I knew I knew him from somewhere! Then it hit me...I met him at my Rotary Conference in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania last April. I was dying to know if it was really him or not so when we got to the flamenco show that the owner of the hostel was taking us to, I asked him. To my surprise, it was him! Peter had been studying in Jordan for 6 months and was on his way home now. One of his stops on the way home was Sevilla and we just happened to run into him there. It was so crazy! We ended up talking to him all night about his trip and other such things. It was really great to run into another Rotary Scholar that I had already met. Then, he came to Granada a few days later and we all went out for dinner at a great restaurant called Totes y Amigos to continue our conversation. Aside from meeting Peter, all of us had a great time in Sevilla. We saw so many things in just a few days like the Cathedral, Plaza de Toros, Alcazar, Tower of Gold, and Giralda. It was nice to take a little trip, but also great to be home in Granada on Sunday night.
