Sevilla

Kinda bitter right now about the hotel we´re staying at in Sevilla because they advertised free Wifi and we can´t even connect to it. Got our hopes up and everything. I still love Sevilla for the shopping though, they have a huge Sfera which we don´t have in the states. Other than that, went to the largest Gothic cathedral today. It looks very similar to the one in Salamanca.. but to go up to the tower we trekked up a ramp and made at least 20ish turns? The view at the top was awesome though. I´ll post those pics when I get back.

Tried some of that sherry last night, and i gotta say, i´m not a fan. Swallowing was the worst part.. it just burned all the way down and the after taste was weird. Jessica ended up downing the other half of my drink. That girl´s only drank 4 times, but she can down alcohol like it´s water. Oh by the way, she´s had laryngitis and a stomach virus since Barcelona. Needless to say, I spent the night watching out and taking care of her at the salsa club because the men were all over her. I guess it´s something about blondies because they just kept coming, one after another. There were instructors there teaching us the basic moves before everyone else busted out with their partners. This one little 80 year old Japanese lady had the attention of one the guys we wanted to dance with the entire night. So sad... I wasn´t very good at the whole dancing thing, so I spent most of the night talking to the bartender instead and danced when one poor guy thought I´d be a good partner. Oh yea, every person I talked to last night first asked where I was from, and when I said US, they would ask me where my parents were from, or else they would begin with.. so you´re from Korea? or Japan?... WHY does it matter?!

Stayed at the club until it closed and had to take a taxi back because our feet were hurting so freakin bad. Now I remember why I don´t wear heels. And yes, they still hurt. Slept the entire way here. There´s only one tour guide for the 50 of us who came and she sucks! She left 20 of us behind at the hotel today because we were a little late, and so we had to find our own way to the cathedral. Then she left us at the bottom of the ramp to the tower and peaced out at the end of the tour. Wé´re really paranoid that we´re gonna get left behind at some point during this trip. Haven´t gotten much sleep lately and I think my cold is just getting worse every day. People find me disgusting.. more than i already am.
