Sevilla.
We went to Sevilla this weekend. We toured the cathedral and climbed the tall ass tower there. It was a lot of walking. I had to use my inhaler a lot. The combination of heat and all that walking was killing me. Sevilla is basically a big ass city. I can't really call it pretty because it's so urbanized. There's not really much beauty except for in the architecture of the buildings. The cathedral was beautiful and very amazing. It has a lot of history behind everything in there. It had a tomb with a part of Christopher Columbus's body. It was pretty and tiring all at the same time.
After touring the Cathedral we had free time to walk around. One of the girls from the group and I found a place to go eat at. It was a little restaurant owned by this Indian man. he was really creepy. He kept smiling and staring at me. He called me "guapa", which means pretty. He thought I was really pretty. He gave me a discount on my food because he thought I was pretty. I'm not complaining about the discount, but he was still creepy and his food was nasty. I will never ever go back there if I ever visit Sevilla again.
After free time we had dinner with the Sevilla group. Dinner was not the best. They didn't have anything that I actually ate. So I was just nibbling at the tapas. The biggest thing that happened was when one of the girls that I was sitting with fainted. It scared the crap out of me. I almost lost my composure. That on top of everything else that has been going on here was so much. It all seemed like so much to deal with at the time. I started feeling like this trip that was supposed to be such a wonderful experience was really just a disaster. I couldn't deal. I had to work hard to keep myself from crying. First something bad happened with my roommate, then her. I just felt like the bad things were coming after us in a line after that moment. It was a very trying day. I got through it though. I pulled myself together and calmed down. I went back to our hotel room and got a good night's sleep. That really helped. I also had a glass of wine. Thank goodness.
Cordoba.
Today we went to Cordoba. Let me just say that Cordoba is beautiful, but I will NEVER go back. (Okay maybe i'm overexaggerating, but i'm still mad about what happened there). Cordoba has this really huge tourist attraction where you view one of the royal palaces and the mosque. It's surrounded by a river and it has plenty of fountains inside. It is very beautiful, BUT it also has an endless string of con artists. And guess who got conned. Me and two girls were walking from the bathroom to meet back up with the group and we got stopped by these gypsies. They stopped us and forced rosemary into our hands. I was fighting this one lady so that she wouldn't touch me. Literally fighting her. Anyway, she forces rosemary into my hands and then commences to "read" my palms and "tell me my future". At the end this bitch wants money so I give her a euro. She then says no and says it costs more because she did both hands. I gave her two euros. She still said no. Mind you the other two girls had gave their gypsies money and left me. Alone. I was surrounded by gypsies who kept asking for more and more money and would not let me leave. I got conned out of 20 euros. I was and still am pissed about it. Like, how dare the girls leave me nad not help me. I wouldn't do that to them, but now I know. These girls are all about self. Never, will I make the mistake of trying to help them. (Okay I probably will because it's in my nature to help people, but still). They are assholes and I am so pissed with them. I was pissed off the entire time. And that gypsy bitch can suck it. They all are going to burn in hell for their shit. Anyways, I was pissed off the entire time until my roommate and I shared a jar of Sangria. After that I was feeling pretty good and calm. I slept a good bit of the way back home to Cadiz.
Now i'm here doing nothing, just watching movies and tv shows on this website I found. I also found out how to get Netflix here. Scorreee! Okay, I gotta go. Gonna shower, eat, then go to sleep. I have class in the morning.
Later,
