So on Saturday we went to Carnival de Cadiz. It was pretty much like the adult version of Halloween (minus trick or treating). There were people dressed up in all kinds of crazy, hardcore costumes. These people don’t mess around. When they get dressed up they go all out. We ran into some guys dressed as Chinese people and they were trying to convince us (in Spanish) that they did not speak Spanish because they were Chinese. Then there was the huge group of people dressed up as foosball players. Oh, and lets not forget the very convincing cross-dressers…at least I think they were cross-dressers…My personal favorite, however, were the cows. I am not sure if it was my Indiana roots coming out or fond memories of a time when certain friends from Michigan brought out a cow suit to IN and we made Ashley wear it to the pizza place….Anyway, it was crazy but really funny. Lots of music and dancing, people everywhere, basically entertainment around every corner. We left Sevilla around 8pm and got back around 4am (my favorite time of day J). Most normal people would just sleep the day away after a night like that but since we are clearly not normal, we decided to wake up at ten and go out to watch the Sevilla Marathon. It was so much fun!! We were pretty much the only ones cheering but the runners appreciated it. They were thanking us (“Ay guapisimas!” counts as a thank you right??) and they definitely started running faster..or at least we would like to think so.
Today I had my interview for my internship. It really was not an interview at all. It was more like hey, what’s your schedule. Ok, you should come here on Wednesday and teach the kids about your life and the US. You know what, why don’t you just come Wed-Fri so you can teach the whole school. Oooo ok. So now I need to plan a lesson about life in Indiana in comparison to life in Sevilla. Nothing like jumping right in! I am excited though. They have kids from ages 3-18 in the school so I will definitely get to figure out what age group I like best and I will have lots of practice! Man, this is long…but I still have more to say!
We also went to Casa de Pilotos today and it was gorgeous. It is this huge mansion with all this beautiful artwork and intricate details inside. I took lots of pictures but it was raining so we didn’t stay there too long. Instead we went to h&m because Jenn needed a sweater and I don’t have a dryer in my house so my pants are falling down (more than normal.) It is a problem. But have no fear, I bought some that were not 5 sizes too big for once so hopefully they will stay on. Wow, that information really was not important to anyone’s life but just in case you wanted to know…haha.
