Sevilla y la fam

I got to show Sevilla to my mom and grandma and it was wonderful! They were only here for a day so it was not nearly long enough to actually show them the city but we had enough time to drink some wine on the roof of dona maria and look out at the the giralda, walk through santa cruz a little bit, see the lighting of feria, look at the cathedral, and eat lunch with my senora. They loved the cathedral, thought feria was a little crazy and that the lights were not nearly as exciting as they had expected but still an experience, and lunch with my senora was probably the most entertaining experience of my Spanish life. Watching the three of them attempt to interact, o man, it was great. No one knew where to look while they spoke, Mercedes (my senora) kept telling me to translate things that I had already told them and when I left to pack my stuff she was trying to show them her knitting and they all just kept talking louder and loud in hopes that maybe the words would magically translate themselves and the other party would understand. It was really fun to translate though and it was great that they all got to meet each other. Although now that my mom has seen where I live she is going to worry even more, not that it is a dangerous area at all. Good thing she brought the pepper spray haha. PS mom it really is in my purse and I did get it out after I got off my bike last night, just for you.
