And so, dear reader, to keep you informed of the goings-on here, some more peculiarities.
I would never drive a car in Seville. The lanes are really just suggestions, as are red lights, turnsignals, and sometimes (in the case of motorcycles) so are roads. And yet somehow, there are very few accidents. Riddle me that.
In adding to the fashion world of Spain, they do not sag their pants. However, they do wear them just low enough so that you can read the designer name on the band. I mean, what's the point in wearing expensive underwear if nobody knows it?
I saw some mimes today, but then they talked and bummed some cigarettes off of some guy, so I gave up and left. I guess they weren't very good mimes.
We took a bus tour of the city today. It was great to finally be able to act like a tourist and take loads of pictures. We are currently studying the art and architecture of Spain from about the 14th to the 20th centuries. Not really as fun as it sounds. But I have a hunch that Gaudi (19th-20th century architect) might have done some of the plans for the Cheesecake Factory in downtown Chicago...
This will have to do for now. More reading about Gaudi awaits!
