Ahh finally a day to relax. I got a chance to sleep in today because on Sundays we told Isa not to cook us breakfast. Yesterday was a fun filled day. We traveled to a town called Italica. While we were there we saw Roman Ruins that date back to 205 b.c. It was really cool. The amphitheatre was probably my favorite part. There is so much history there. We talked about how sometimes Christians and Jews were fed to the lions down in those pits for practicing their beliefs. To be standing on the same ground where as much as 2000 years ago gladiators were fighting was very weird. This amphitheatre is the 3rd largest in Roman history. It was very different to see how they constructed things.
The statues (although they were only replicas - the real ones are in a museum in Italica so they can be restored) were awesome. I don't think the pictures can even explain how great this place was. After we left there... We went across the street to a little bar and recovered. Then we continued on to the theatre. ahhh there is so much history in Europe.
After we got home we all took a siesta... And then got up and ate dinner. Isa made pork chops and potatoes... It was good. After dinner we went to the internet cafe to catch up on e-mails and such. To end the night... My roommates (Chris, arron, and Paul) went across the street to the local bar. We've made friends with the bartender over there. He is an aussie named Ian. When we got there a bunch of other people from our group were over there. We've been talking this bar up so much they had to come check it out. After a couple of drinks we caught a cab to go down by Plaza de Cuba ... It is over by the river. There are a lot of dance clubs / bars / and shops over in that area. It was pretty fun. Sevilla really knows how to party. We got home around 6am and crashed.
Well that is what has been going on with me the last couple of days. I hope everyone is doing well. I will talk to you soon.
