In Sevilla

I left Granada with a heavy heart yesterday. On Friday I had a great last night with my 'girls'. I took my closest friends to the delicious restaurant Mirador de Morayma to celebrate.

Before

After

It was hard to leave. I met some fantastic people and was feeling very at home in the little school apartment and in my dance classes. I felt understood by my friends and teachers. I felt like I could really spread some XM magic, hehe. My best friends helped me to the train station with my luggage and cried big crocodile tears when I left - that touched to the core of my heart. THANK YOU! You know who you are! The Granada chapter was an incredible experience. I will be back! 

If you want to see more pictures and are not on Facebook: Leave me a comment and I will send you a link to my photo album.

Now, on to Sevilla! I'm very excited to be here. I'm living for a month with Carmen, my landlady, and a dancer from Syria who will be studying flamenco for nine months like me. After that, I will go on about finding a flat of my own. 

Today I walked around the town with my flatmate. He bought a second-hand bike on the flea market and we walked and walked and walked around the center. The town is absolutely stunning. I'm reminded of the Spanish colonialist architecture I've seen elsewhere in Mexico and Cuba. Of course it comes from here! But it's the first time I've seen it in such magnificence. The area around the Cathedral is marvelous. I live right outside the historical center and I see many people rides bicycles here. I want one too! My feet hurt! I NEED A BIKE! I'm planning to get one as soon as I can!

Tomorrow my class starts at the Centro de Arte y Flamenco Sevilla. 

I am VERY curious how it will be...
