so i realized i haven't said anything about sevilla for a while.
so yea, things are pretty good around here. i started working at a guarderia, aka daycare, twice a week, which is pretty fun. the kids are all around 3 or 4 years old and younger, and i basically just play with them, help feed them, make sure they don't kill each other, and teach english lessons. it's pretty crazy because they already have at least two english lessons a day, what i teach them and what this other lady comes in and teaches them. and they're pretty good.
i also started taking salsa dancing lessons this week with my intercambio, a college student i'm paired with that wants to learn english. we normally just meet and talk, so i can learn spanish from her and she can learn english from me, and this week she invited me to the lessons with her, so i went. it was pretty fun. i was a bit confused because all the moves were spanish names that i didn't know, and the instructions were obviously in spanish, and they were all terms i wasn't sure about, but it was still really fun. after semana santa, i'm gonna go back and hopefully get a little better.
so i haven't told you all about the craziness of futbol, aka soccer, here. basically, everyone's obsessed with it. the other week, there was a home game in the stadium near my apartment, and when i was walking back to my apartment before the game, i saw the thousands of people walking to the stadium. it was nuts. then during the game, my senor and his son were yelling and screaming in the house every time there was a goal or anything, so that was pretty amusing. my roommate and i were so intrigued we finally had to go watch for a while with them.
hmmm, what else ... today i went to an exhibit at the art museum about el greco, a famous painter i'm learning about in my art class. so that was pretty interesting since i knew all about his style and stuff. oh, and this week laura and i have been using the city bicicyle system instead of the buses since our bus passes needed renewed and we didn't feel like doing that before we left for morocco, so that has been fun. we just had to pay 5 euros and we get to use the bikes whenever we want, as long as we return them to a station within 30 minutes. it's been soooooooo hot though this week, so it's been quite a workout.
allright, so i guess this is all for now. i'm off to africa for the weekend and the early part of next week, so i hope you all have a good easter and enjoy semana santa!!!
hasta luego.

You'll have to bust out some salsa at the clubs in Ithaca once you get back :o)
OK brat, so you want me to post to your blog too and not just Seth's. As an official dad, it is more important for me to keep tabs on that Annoying Guy who spends way too much time with you (and to a dad, 5 seconds is too much). But I think I like him, and he's a good writer, so I guess that's OK. Just so he realizes that it is all his fault about the umbrella. Since I got married and had kids, everything is my fault too, whether it is or not. Hope you're having a great time in Morocco.
