What an AMAZING day.
Where to begin.
Firstly, the people on this program are completely incredible. I feel like I am with friends I have known for years and years. I met them 3 weeks ago. They made me feel so special today, like it was really my day. We went to Cadiz very early in the morning and it was raining cats and dogs. My entire body was drenched. After some time, the sun came out and everything dried up. We had a great lunch at a little restaurant (complete with vino tinto, sangria, and paella) and walked all around the city. When I got back to Sevilla, a beautiful bouquet of flowers was waiting for me from home. Mati kept saying “que detalle”- she was really into them. Thank you, family- they are BEAUTIFUL!
Dinner consisted of a fried egg, sushi, and non-dairy cake that Mati made. Yes, I know the fried egg and sushi part is a little bizarre, but Mati decided to surprise me with my two favorite foods (both on the same plate). She’s the best.
After, we went out for the big day. We started at a bar right by where I live in Nervion and made our way to a discoteca, Abril, where we stayed until 5:30 in the morning. My two Cornell friends, Brian and Kathleen, even came out. It was so great to see familiar faces!
I am currently sitting at my desk, listening to a band that performs during la Semana Santa practice outside. It’s 5:30 pm, which means that I have been sleeping all day. Today is recovery day, for sure.
Thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special!
Cadiz- I took this with my phone. How clear!
Birthday dinner!!
