i made it to sevilla in one piece but i'm definitely about to fall apart. plane rides were fine, no major trouble. i slept a little bit on the 8 hour flight to barcelona but not nearly enough. when we finally got to sevilla we all got our luggage and headed to the taxis. we caught them in groups of three. the ride was only about 15 minutes from the airport. on the way over i was taking everything in. little was spoken between the driver and the three of us. at one point he asked us if we wanted to roll the window down to which we looked at each other confused. finally through hand signals we figured out the question and simply responded "esta bien." when we got to the hotel he told us it would be 3o euros. after talking with other groups it's certain that he upcharged us. others paid anywhere from 21 to 26 or 27 euros from what i've gathered.
once i got to the hotel and put all of my things in my room we decided to get something to eat. we stopped in this little restaurant and got some pizza. after lunch we walked around in search of our "campus" where our summer classes will be held. it's not too far from the hotel, but that's of little importance seeing as how we will be moving to our spanish homes tomorrow (i believe). i still don't know where i will be staying or who i'm rooming with. i'll know much more this time manana.
i'm gonna run get a shower and maybe take a quick nap before our mandatory meeting at 8. i'll update soon.

Ah, so exciting. Also, foreign cab rides are really fun. I got my acceptance letter to Nanzan yesterday, so I'll be joining you in foreign country exploration come fall semester. I'll keep checking your blog for updates and pictures. Have a fantastic time! (^_^)
