They used Roman stones for the base of the tower. You can still read Latin script on some of the stones.<br><br>Then the Catholics conquered the area, knocked down the mosque, but used the minueret as a bell tower for the fresh new cathedral they built ...

... during orientation and apparently I did well enough to get into all the classes that I wanted. My roommate Chloe and I went out that night and met up with some kids from the program at Elefunk. It was a pretty cool bar and it was nice getting to know the other kids in the program. This creepy lady came up to me and offered me some candy which was pretty weird, but other than that it was a great night. Friday morning Chloe had ...

... you blame a girl for craving Mexican food? There's hardly any of it in Spain, somewhat surprisingly). It was about a 45 minute walk from the Residencia, in a neighborhood across the river and south of Triana, Los Remedios. It was interesting to see another neighborhood well out of the way of most tourists. On the way there, I got some pretty good pictures of the river and the Triana Bridge at dusk.

The green strap of her dress slips down her dimpled arm, revealing a grey undergarment strap. Her mind is faraway from the table, from the drinks and from the people around her. Sad? Drunk? Sleepy? Weary? I couldn't tell, but I imagined her story and ...

... which is a very hard thing to do in Spain. It is rare for young people below the age of 30 to move out from under their parents. All three are students in the university and they were very nice and not creepy like most intercambios. After we left them, we went to a restaurant that looked like a diner but had the most amazing pastries. I had a delicious chocolate creation and we sat around and talked for awhile.    Hasta Luego,   Megan

... interesting to talk to him and get his point of view of America verse Sevilla. Becky & I went to the CIEE center at 4 to schedule our classes. We found out that we have the same intensive session for the next 3 weeks and it meets Mon-Fri from 12 to 3 which I think is a great time. I also registered for my other classes.

... did get back (she had been at mass; I think I forgot to mention that), she completely spazzed on Cindy. As she was yelling at her, she was backing her into the wall and Cindy eventually had to retreat back up to our room.

After that is when I actually talked on the phone and went to bed. What a night.
