A beautiful city, first day in my new home

Sevilla is a beautiful city and I am finally moved into my house. It is absolutely gorgeous, my roommate Jared and I have our own rooms and we share a bathroom on the first floor. The house has three floors, the second has the lunch room, dinner room, kitchen, and master bedroom. My host family has a cook that prepared lunch, the most important and biggest meal of the day, and dinner. We eat lunch at 2:30, then nap, dinner is at 10. My host parent’s daughter lives on the third floor, in a penthouse that has a bedroom, sitting room, and small kitchen I believe. There is an elevator and the house is full of beautiful tile on the walls and floors. My address is Call de Baños 76 and if you look on google maps you can see we are very close to the heart of the city and across the river is a beautiful park with orchards and monuments from various times in Spain’s history. Sevilla is a city that has been under control of many groups of people and the remains form each culture are still very evident. Today at lunch, we sat in the lunch room, which has a sofa and nice chairs around a small table. Something cool that I learned today is that in the south of Spain most homes do not have central heat so people put a blanket under the tablecloth and there is a heater under the table. Its quite nice to keep your legs warm while you eat. We had a four course lunch today; first potato soup, second fried octopus with a parsley marmalade, third was a tortilla (in spain tortillas are like a potato bake, for desert was strawberries in a gelatin. Jared and I are headed back to school for more orientating. Our school is an old mansion with a beautiful patio in the middle. For now, back to school. Adiós todos
