Just arrived in Sevilla! Well so far, I am absolutely LOVING it! Minus the fact that the apartment where our family lives is FREEZING! (No heat :( ) and the room I share is really tiny and there’s no room for any of my clothes. When we got off of the bus our host madre was waiting for us. She is a very sweet woman in her mid-50s named Fina, short for Josephina. She couldn’t believe how many suitecases my roommates and I had (ooops!!). Her husband was waiting in the car for us. When he saw us the asked si estamos quedando por siempre,, if we’re staying forever/moving in haha. Thank goodness they had a big car (very rare here!), but even with a big car, our stuff almost didn’t fit! We then went to their apartment, its kind of small and REALLY COLD but its nice. My roommate Kim from Long Island has her own room and I share one with my other roommate Brittney from Texas. Brittney and I couldn’t fit all of our clothes in the closet/the tiny dresser we share so that kind of stinks. It turns out that our family has 3 kids, two daughters and a son. The daughters live around here but the son is married and lives in Granada. The family has had a lot of foreign exchange students before, but they don’t speak English. I’ve been able to understand them so far for the majority but its hard sometimes to converse with them because my grammar is so terrible in Spanish, but they typically understand me. I can’t wait until my Spanish starts to improve!!
