Today we left for Cordoba and Seville. cordoba was an interesting city. we visited the cathedral there which is the major attraction of the city. the cathedral is interesting because it has had so many different cultures of influence on it that it is very ecclectic,. the muslim and catholic influences are the most prominent. there are hundreds of arches inside painted in red and white stripes. there is also some arabic written on the walls. but throw into this mix is traditional catholic statues, columns, etc. the light is so so that it filters in thru the windows and highlights certain aspects of the cathedral. it is very beautufl.

but here comes my embaressing story...while walking in the cathedral, i was trying to sound superior to justin and tell him how to take a picture when i missed a downhill and my feet flew out from under me. luckily i was wearing a backpack and that kept my head from hitting the floor. a crowd of people swarmed around me to make sure i was ok. it was not an empty cathedral. justin was laughing histerically. i have bruises alllllll over my arms bc i landed on them. and to make it worse, i was dead sober. nto even a good drunk story. soooo embaressing

we got to seville tonight. our hostel is unreal. i recommend it to anyone. it is the picasso backpackers hostel. we're right in the center of teh old city and it is soooo beautiful. if i hadnt studied abroad in rome i would have definately come here. its a university city so there are lots of kids. the food is amazing. we went tapas crawlign tonight and our waiter was awesome. the weather is beautiful and we are having a great time. we are only supposed to stay here for 2 ngihts but we might extend our stay! mom i want to come back here!!!!

Stolen Bag!
Hey megs,
sorry to hear that your bag got stolen, where did you leave it!

anyway, mom said to need to do the following:

1. report this to police
2. email mom on what the cops are doing so mom is aware and anything mom can do to help!
3.a phone # for mom to contact you or police.
4. notify cops that mom will not be home until 7:30


Love you. Good Thing you didnt pack alot! :P
