Sue in Seville: Mrs. Berger comes to visit

So, in the last post I said I would post a little more about Paris, although there really isn't much more to tell, so here are some pictures from the trip. It kind of stinks travelling by yourself because you can never get anyone to take your picture for you:

So this past week, my mom came to visit Seville. Her hotel was quite a ways from the center of the city, but working with that and around my class schedule, we still managed to do quite a bit. We visited the Cathedral, the Royal Gardens, several streets, stores, plazas, etc. It was great to see her after being here for 3 months. It was also great because she brought me some more sweaters, since it it getting colder here. Down into the 50's. Ahh!!!

It was interesting that she noticed a lot of the cultural things that I've just gotten used to over my time here. For example, I guess I forgot how strange it was that most restaurants here just have ham hocks hanging in the windows. Even just the little habits that people have.

We also had lunch at Loli's while we were here. My 2 mothers, however, did not speak a word of each others' languages, so I had a lot of fast translating to do, especially since Loli didn't seem to slow down at all or pause between sentences.

Here are my 2 mothers, my real mom, Sue, on the left, and host mother, Loli, on the right (and me in the center, in case you couldn't tell):

So, less than a month left. And getting down into the paper and exam time. I will still try to update this when I can and let you know how stressed I am ;)

Till next time, besos!
