Bienvenida a Sevilla

Day One en Sevilla...is that really all it is? I definitely feel more comfortable having roamed these streets once or twice before. After a safe and smooth, but terribly long day of traveling yesterday (aka the single day that is wed-thurs to me) today we explored. And met our host family, claro que si! Even though I spoke to Magdalena twice on the phone, I felt very nervous and overwhelmed at first, especially unpacking. Nothing more than random verbs and frustration came out of my mouth regardless of nine years of studying spanish, se me fue. Almuerzo, was my turning point. The meal was delicious and after my roommate and I gave gifts to our very appreciative, new family. They were so excited about the photo album I made for them, and I don't know where the cookies I baked with my mom have disappeared to since, but they were impressed that we baked them. I can handle this...Yeah! Magdalena tucked me in on the couch next to her while we watched an American dubbed movie. She explained details to me during the commercials and I felt the collaborative teaching/learning juices flowing:) Dinner was also delicious, meat and brocolli. Hasta manana.
